Which Vyrgyl claryfied, and also Tullyus,
Wyth Latyn pure, swete, and delicyous.
From whense my mayster Lydgate veryfyde
The depured rethoryke in Englysh language;
To make our tongue so clerely puryfyed,
That the vyle termes should nothing arage
As like a pye to chatter in a cage,
But for to speke wyth rethoryke formally,
In the good order, wythouten vylany.
And who his bokes lyst to here or se,
