Who thirsteth after Honor, and renowne

WHO thirsteth after Honor, and renowne,
By valiant act, or lasting worke of wit:
In vaine he doth expect, her glorious crowne,
Except by labor, he atcheiveth it;
And sweatie brow, for never merit may,
To drousie sloath, impart her living bay.

HAMILCARS sonne, hence shall thy glory liue,
Who or'e the Alpes, didst foremost lead the way,
With Caesars eeke, that would the onse giue,
And first on foote, the deepest foords assay:
Let Carpet Knightes, of Ladies favours boast,
The manly hart, brave Action-loveth most.
