The bordering Lands seated here in ken, Whose shores are sprinkled with rich Orient Pearl, More bright of hew than were the Margarets, That Caesar found in wealthy Albion, The sands of Tagus all of burnished gold, Made Thetis never prouder on the Cliffs, That ouerpiere the bright and golden shore, Than do the rubbish of my Country Seas: And what I dare, let say the Portingale, And Spaniard tell, who manned with mighty Fleets, Came to their King. Filling our seas with stately Argosies, Caluars and Magars hulks of burden great, Which Brandemart rebated from his coast, And sent them home ballast with little wealth But leaving these such glories as they be, I love (my Lord) let that suffice for me. See where she is my Lord, speak as if you knew her not. I thou art she that wronged the Palatine. Nay then thou shalt be used according to thy deserts, come bring her to our Tents. Frantic companion, lunatic & wood, Get thee hence, or else I vow by heaven, Thy madness shall not privilege thy life. But would these Princes follow my advise And enter arms as did the Greeks gainst Troy; Nor he nor thou shouldst have Angelica. Tush my Lords why and you upon terms Let us to our Sconce, and you my Lord to Mexico. Now see Angelica the fruits of all your love.
