Sting - "...and accordinge as I desired ther cam a letter..." lyrics

spoken: ...And according as I desired, there came a letter to me out of Germany from the Duke of Brunswick, whereupon I spake to your honor and to my Lord of Ess**, who willingly gave me both your hands, for which I would be glad if there were any service in me that your honors could command. When I came to the Duke he used me kindly, and gave me a rich chain of gold...with velvet and satin and gold lace to make me apparel, with promise that if I would serve him he would give me as much as any prince in the world...
