"Ryght Honorable: As I Have Bin Most Bounde Unto Your Honor..."

Right Honorable, as I have been most bound unto your honor

So I most humbly desire Your Honor to pardon my boldness

And make my choice of Your Honor to let you understand

My bounden duty and desire of God's preservation

Of my most dear sovereign Queen and country

Whom I beseech God ever to bless

And to confound all their enemies what and whomsoever

Your Honor's most bounden for ever, John Dowland
