——————This Cardinal,

Though from an humble stock, undoubtedly

Was fashion’d to much honour from his cradle.

He was a scholar, and a ripe, and good one;

Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading:

Lofty, and sour, to them that lov’d him not,

But, to those men that sought him, sweet as summer.

And though he were unsatisfied in getting,

(Which was a sin), yet in bestowing—

He was most princely: Ever witness for him
