In estimation of th'idolatrous vulgar;
His scorne of all things servile and ignoble,
Though they could gaine him never such advancement;

In spight of temporising; the great rising25
And learning of his soule so much the more
Against ill fortune, as shee set her selfe
Sharpe against him or would present most hard,
To shunne the malice of her deadliest charge;
His detestation of his speciall friends,30
