Nothinge I am experte in poetry,

As the monke of Bury, floure of eloquence,

Whiche was in the time of great excellence

Of your predecessour, the v. kyng Henry,

Unto whose grace he did present

Ryght famous bokes of parfit memory,

Of hys faynyng with termes eloquent;

Whose fatall fictions are yet permanent,

Grounded on reason, with cloudy fygures

He cloked the trouth of all his scryptures.
