Into a little place which shall soon grow afterwards,
An inferiour place of a small County,
For this Escurial being seated in a Desert place of a County of Spain, called Castilia, which the Spanish vanity calleth a Kingdom, (whose Use, Fruit, or Revenues, the said Charles only reserved for his maintenance) is now by the Spaniards accounted to be the eighth wonder of the World.

Pres d’un grand Pont de plaine spacieuse,
Le grand Lion par force, Cesarées,
Fera abatre hors Cité rigoureuse,
Par effroy portes luy seront reserrées.
