*Hauing this day my horse, my hand, my launce*
*Guided so well that I obtain'd the prize,*
*Both by the iudgement of the English eyes*
*And of some sent from that sweet enemy Fraunce;*
*Horsemen my skill in horsemanship aduaunce,*
*Towne folkes my strength; a daintier iudge applies*
*His praise to sleight which from good vse doth rise;*
*Some luckie wits impute it but to chance;*
*Others, because of both sides I doe take*
*My blood from them who did excell in this,*
*Thinke Nature me a man-at-armes did make.*
*How farre they shot awrie! The true cause is,*
*Stella lookt on, and from her heau'nly face*
*Sent forth the beames which made so faire my race. *
