Also kinge Alexander, the noble conquerour, Whose great power in all the worlde was knowen, Of me, dame Fame, he wanne the honoure, As I my trompe after his death have blowen; Whose sounde aloude can not be overthrowen. Thus in flamynge tonges all aboute I flye Throughe the worlde wyth my winges swyftly. Julius Sezar. And of the worthy Sezar Julyus, All about wyth golden beames bryght, His name shall dure and be full gloryous; In all the worlde wyth ardaunt tongues lyght His fame shall reigne, he hath it wonne by ryght, For to abyde and ever to augment Wythouten lette or yet ympediment. Arthur. Also yet Arthur, the good kinge of Brittayne, Wyth all his knightes of the rounde table, I nowe, dame Fame, shall make to remayne Their worthy actes highe and honourable, Perpetually for to be commendable; In ryall bokes and jestes hystoryall, Theyr fame is knowen right hyghe tryumphall. Charles. And than Charles the great kynge of Fraunce, Wyth all his noble douseperes also, As Rowland, and Olyver, of hys alyaunce, With all the resydue and many other mo, Theyr fame encreaseth rennyng to and fro; The hardy dedes did them magnyfy, Unto me, Fame, their names to notyfy. Godfrey of Boleyn. And Godfrey of Boleine, of hardy courage, That of the paynyms wanne the vyctory, His worthy actes did their strength aswage, Whose fame renowmed is ful openly About the worlde reygnynge so ryally, In flamynge tongues to be intellygyble, His most his actes so moche invyncible. And in like wise without abatement, I shall cause for to be memoriall The famus actes so hyghe benevolent Of Graunde Amoure, my knight in speciall; His name shall dure and be eternall; For though his body be wrapt in claye, Yet his good fame shall remayne alway. And ryght anone she called Remembraunce, Commaundyng her ryght truely for to wryte Both of myne actes and my governaunce, Which than ryght sone began to endite Of my feates of armes in a short respite, Whose goodly stories in tongues severall About were sent for to be perpetuall. And thus I, Fame, am ever magnified When earth in earth hath tane his estate; Thus after death I am all glorified. What is he nowe that can my power abate? Infinite I am, nothing can me mate; The spryng of honour and of famous clarkes, My selfe I am to renowne their workes. CAP. XLIV. HOWE TYME CAME INTO THE TEMPLE IN A MARVAYLOUS SEMILITUDE, AND OF HIS REPLYCATION. And as dame Fame was in laudation, Into the temple with marveilous lykenes Sodainly came Time in breviacion, Whose similitude I shall anone expresse; Aged he was, with a bearde doubtles, Of swalowes feaders his wynges were long, His body federed; he was hye and strong.
