like curtaines at their best To make vs sleepe or hinder vs from light Troublers of Nature children of the west Haters of sence adopted sonnes of night In whom the wise both sorrow and delight Yet were there not such vegetalls the while What had the wiser sort whereat to smile O you that beare the courage of diuines Hate such mens patronage ingage not Art For who beholds the spoiler of the vines And stands secure or takes the spoilers part Shall in his conscience feele such deadly smart That when he seekes by scripture to be easde The more he reades the more he is displeasde Renowned Picus of Mirandula Hated the substance of a cleargy man That was vnlettered and made a lawe An ignorant which neuer had began To seeke or after seeking neuer skan Some part of somewhat that might wisedome bring Should be accounted but a liuing thing The noble Tichobraghe for whose deare sake All Denmarke is in admirations loue In deepe regard such difference doth make Betweene those men whose spirit soare aboue And those base essenses which only moue That in his Isles horizon he admittes No clowdy meteors of such foggy wittes On forraine princes I will neuer stand Sweete Clio pardon if I do digresse The noble Earle the learn'd Northumberland Fauours you Muses and he doth addresse His peerelesse cares which you must needes expresse Write Clio write and that aeternally In spite of Muses he shall neuer die For in his life his praise and after death Thankfull remembrance still remaines aliue So long as Fame's aeternall trump hath breath And time drawes time and these daies other driue Or hasty minutes in their swiftnesse striue While man can speake with man and vertue praise So long continues his immortall praise Princes are meere diuines for they maintaine The liuing Gospel of the liuely truth Doubly in them Gods Image doth remaine In high commanding where hir mercy shew'th The future hopes of goodnesse that ensu'th And then in their creation Thus two waies Princes are bound the Prince of heau'n to praise Now to be princely and to be diuine I added Winchester to all the rest With sundry others which I held by fine And being once installed in the best Vouchsafte with Abbies to be so possest I held this certaine sure and neuer doubt Abbies and Bishoprickes will not fall out I made them friends and that they might continue I got church-liuings more then I will say Small liuings added to a great reuenue Riddes poore reports and common talkes away The Chorus of the people that can say The Parson careth not for our soules health Will hold their tongues at hearing of such wealth Thus full of riches and exceeding powre I added liuing vnto liuing still Scarce came a day within whose euery howre There were not yeelded offrings of free will To haue or leaue vntill I had my fill One starre is newly added shining faire Vnto the backe of Cassopeias chaire Betweene solemnitie and loftie state The sequele of my life I will diuide Whereby I purchaste honor ioyn'd with hate And enuie still did beare a mightie side Who rises by his wisedome is enui'de Let them enuie but when their lordships fell I must haue notice where their Wardes must dwell I car'd not for the gentrie for I had Tithe-gentlemen yong nobles of the land The greatest of the Realme were highly glad When with great charge and sute vnder my hand They left the first fruites of their neerest band Fortune is Lady of the nobly borne The learned noble haue her gifts in scorne It may be some were glad when I was sent Twice in Embassage to the Emperours court And others sad respecting that I went Furnisht so royally with such resort As farre exceedes beleefe of true report Speake they their pleasure Yet with equall worth And greater good I came then I went forth Imperious ghost of Charles come sit by mine He cannot come but lies in Princes ward And he disdaines to sue to Proserpine Deare fellow ghost but he will not regard Or if he do from comming is debard Truly Imperious for thy entertaine To me and all the followers of my traine The towne of Bruges Princes faire resort Flanders rich ornament noble Peeres Exchange The chosen cittie for the Emperours Court About whose streetes my following troupes did range Was in her curt●sie so highly strange That nothing there was suffred to be spent Either by me or any one that went Returning home in farre more glorious sort Then Mardocheus to the Median King The summe of my successe I did report Pl●asing his eares with sound of euery thing Eloquence taught my common talke to sing Contenting matter and delighting wordes No sweeter straines all Musicks art affordes Honour's without emploiments of estate Are like to sun-beames without heate or light A noble man and not a magistrate Shines halfe eclipsed in his cleerest bright Ioyne heau'nly gifts to earthly light to light Let these great excellencies make a truce Fortune shall neede no wheele-write for her vse But from a Monarch of that soueraigne power Twise to be sent so honourably grac'd To Europs highest braunch and fairest flower In so short season with so happy blast Each doubtfull care with wisedome ouercast Returning to be more then going forth Was fatall to the Cardinal of the North. Now at such times as Lawyers walke the streets Without long rowles of papers in their hands When friendly neighbour with his neighbour meetes Without false chalenge to each others lands The counsellor without his client stands When that large Capitoll lies voide and waste Where Senators and Iudges late were plac't Then in a solemne progresse would I ride To see the houses where my liuings lay The Image of what was did not abide Nay scarce the memory remaines this day For any stranger that shall passe that way This course in old Records ignoraunce tooke Teare the red letters and burne all the booke How patient is Antiquitie the while And all the soules that leane on Abrahams breast Those sacred spirits that with inspired stile Wrote truly of the church and hauing ceast Their paines on earth do liue in peace and rest Our parents age worse then our grandsires be We worst beget our children worse then we Then in an humor I accursed strait Those vnbaptised sacrilegious hands That onely for Gods vestrie laide their waite Prophanely seazing on the churches lands And casting faire for all while none with stands But lest my sorrowes openly should breake Thus with my selfe me thought I gan to speake Ye churches founded by religious Kings Reioyce within your Eccho sounding vaultes Though enuious Time this desolation brings Battring your marble pillars with assaults And euen in men there rest no meane defaults Triumph in this there is a doome for time Reuenge for men that by your losses climbe And ye the seruants of the liuing King Let not your stately pallace walles decline No desolation may confusion bring To those faire
