I hartily thank your gentlenesse. We are also hunters, but it behoueth vs to pray vnto Diana, the auncient Goddesse of the forests, yt she would vouchsafe to sende vs some worthy praie, wherwith wée mighte striue to remunerate in price that gifte of yours: but if perad∣uenture you surmount vs in the worth thereof, yet in seruitude of loue, you shall neuer surmount vs.
Yours as a brother. &c.
