To the Right Honourable Thomas, Earle of Arundell and Surrey, Earle Marshall and Primier Earle of England

Thou Englands Marshall, who great sway dost beare,
Having receiv'd it from our Soveraigne here,
Oh ward, defend, maintaine, ensased be
Most from all hazard, or affront by thee,
And as a Marshall, Marshall in array
So well thy men, that they may win the day.

Ha! as true Marshall be a ward to most,
Oh! still represse the evill in your host,
Well as you are, continue such to be,
And Englands Marshall is advanc't on thee;
Respecting whose true worth, a challenge here
Doth follow with the Ho, your foes to feare.
