Ryght meke / goodly / gentyll and gracyous

Syster ryght dere vnto the excellence

Of our good souerayne / surmountynge in sapyence

Ryght fayre younge lady / the grete lorde aboue

He graunte you grace / hygh fame / fortune / and loue

 And all you lordes and laydes honourable

And you noble knyghtes so hauntynge chyualry

Unto our souerayne be meke and tendable

Whiche wyll rewarde you well and nobly

As to shewe his largesse vnyuersally

Encouragynge your hertes that courage chyualrous

In tyme of batayll for to be vyctoryous

 And all ye offycers of euery degree

Beware extorcyon, for and it be knowen

No doute it is but ye shall punysshed be

Take hede of them / the whiche be ouerthrowen

Remembre well how fortune hathe blowen

The promoters downe / and castynge them full lowe

In folowynge them ye shall fall as I trowe
