In GVZMANVM d'ALFARACHIA nobilem Erronem et Praedonem publicum, à clariss. rei{que} militaris expertiss. Duce Don Diego Puede-Ser captum, vinculis constrictum, nec sine ouatione in Britannias perductum.

ESte procul Elegi: Nihil hîc Dolente dignum, Vocem premant Epica: Non hîc celebratur Heros. Fl•…•…bili nil opus Lyrâ: Facilis hîc prostat Uenus. Sed nec Tubâ Mantuana: Bella canuntur bellula. Grande nimis reboantes Davum dedecent Cothurni. Nec Iambi turbet furor Hilares Lyaei iocos. Multo{que} minùs loripes Fugitiuum dic at Scazon.
Quale iam dic Metri genus, Nobilis, Guzmane, praedo, Te tuos{que} mores sonet Expertes Legis, Ordinis? Nam Marini more Dei, Uitijs nunc irritatus Leo fremis: Nunc remulcens Caudam Canis adularis: Colubrinâ saepe linguâ Immane quiddam sibilas: Saepè Sophi meditantis Pendulâ seuerus togâ Uitae praedicas maeandros. Uafer sic, et fallis Omnes, Et Teipsum multiformis. Vt stupore plenum fuat, Quibus hamis & catenis Illigauit Versipellem, Et hoc Monstrum cicurauit; Uoce Qui donat Anglicâ?
Aureis catenis nempe, Quibus vinciuntur aures: Nempe Circeo poculo, Tumidos quod sopit angues: Nempe Thracis plectro Lyrae, Quae sequaces reddit vrsas. Hisce comprensus artibus, Retrò manibus revinctis, Curru positus superbo, Per Britanna regna, (Guzman) Prodis in pompam publicam.
