So if thou liste to heare what I recite, If thou intende to showe my fatall fall: I praye thee take the paynes my tale to wryte, As I in order here repeate it shall, What nedst thou muse? thou nedst not feare at all. Syth those that later liu’de their tales haue tolde, Our elder liues to write thou mayst be bolde.
