famous men of Portugall that exalted themselues in England in dignitie and by armes The first was the Infant Don Pedro sonne to King Don Iohn of Portugall who was Knight of the Order of the Garter in England where he performed many Heroicall Actes with an azure bandell and English letters expressing thus much in French Honi soit qui mal y pense Which is the Motto or Inscription of the said Order

French kings crown Europe hath knowne the mettaile of this sword For England and Castile it stoutly stood Faire England me her Garter did afford And sweetly harbourd my congealed bloud The fourth was

Lancaster who atchieued maruellous enterprises in this kingdome in the vauntguard of the Royall battaile of Saint George At his feete hee hath this inscription The Poet following some Spanish Author as it should seeme hath mistaken the right English names which gentle Reader you must pardon Sprung from the house of Lancaster am I Haymon by name of courage bold and stout Th' Earledome of Cambridge

did from her Kings descend The third was Don Liberche who assisted King Don Alfonso at the taking of Lisbone and from him and his Followers the towne of Almada tooke her name of which they were Lords In his shield he beareth the armes of his name and these verses vnderneath subscribed Full oft made I the proud Barbarian feele The keener edge of my well-temp'red steele And made this passage triumphe in their bloud That sought to force it gainst the publike good Since when Almada hath her name retaind From him and his who thus her safety gaind Great Britaine France and Portugall doe know What losse the Mores by him did vndergoe The fourth was Don I hil de Rolim to whom King Don Alfonso gaue the royaltie of Azambaia and from whom the Rolines and Mores of this kingdome discend with his Scutchion of Armes and this poeticall subscription English by birth in worth I did abound And was the first that sought by force of Armes To lay these Rampiers leuell with the ground Frighting the
