Þessa drápu færi ek Karli konungi þriðja til hollustu



I thank Lydgate- whose quill fletched no arrows
& England's lamb- Hell negligently harrows
So Hiranyagarbha's goose equally bespeak
Thy Chrism from Becket's eagle beak

Envoi

Prince! For comparisons are odious
 This Counterpoint is melodious
