"...And Accordinge As I Desired Ther Cam A Letter..."

And according as I desired There came a letter to me out of Germany from the Duke of Brunswick Whereupon I spake to your honor and to my Lord of Essex Who willingly gave me both your hands, for which I would be glad If there were any service in me that your honors could command When I came to the Duke, he used me kindly And gave me a rich chain of gold With velvet and satin and gold lace to make me apparel With promise that if I would serve him He would give me as much as any prince in the world
