Thomas Drant, Archedeacon in praise of this Booke
An happy turne that Casa once did hatche,
Of haviours choice this booke in Ital' phrase:
An Archebishop, and writer without matche
In this he was, and peereles pight with praise.
Such he his lore so well and wise doth lend:
It heare ne reade we can, but must amend.
This booke by Tiber, and by Po hath past,
Through all Italia Townes and Country lands.
Iberus, throughe thy Spanishe coasts as fast
