Ever are men in dignity set high,
Du ages ward that they may be thereby;
Ward then du age , sith you to honour mounted,
Are worthily amongst the Heroes counted,
Regard age du , not every age regard;
Du age defend, be to du age a ward ,

Mounted in honour therefore are you high,
O that you may help them in misery!
Very well by your place du age defending,
Never to let foes on their age be rending.
Thus well the power you have, you exercise,
And so du ages ward doth well arise:
Goe on still, for, du ages ward to be,
Very much honour so will come to thee,
Ever du age still warding gloriously.
