The famous warriors of the anticke world,
    Used Trophees to erect in stately wize:
    in which they would the records have enrold,
    of theyr great deeds and valarous emprize.
What trophee then shall I most fit devize,
    in which I may record the memory
    of my loves conquest, peerelesse beauties prise,
    adorn'd with honour, love, and chastity.
Even this verse vowd to eternity,
    shall be thereof immortall moniment:
    and tell her prayse to all posterity,
    that may admire such worlds rare wonderment,
The happy purchase of my glorious spoile,
    gotten at last with labour and long toyle.
