Though your young tender yeares in infancy
Have not permitted to your dignity,
On noble warfare that you should be sent,
Making your name amongst the worthies pent,
Ah yet ensue their vertues, and you'l see
Such as they have beene, such your selfe will be.
Doe as they have done, and their honour then
Indeed will yours be accounted amongst men.
Lead you a traine of vertues in your youth,
Lead afterwards a Band of men in truth:
Onely that man indeed doth lead the most ,
Nobly that leads within himselfe an Host;
Expressing this, you may a Captaine boast.
