God was pitous, and made him hool at al;
Silvester cam, and in the same stede
Yaf him baptyme first in special,
Which dide away the sinne original,
And al his lepre it hath so purifyed,
350
That his pitè for ever is magnifyed.
Pitè was cause why this emperour
Was hool in body and in soule bothe;
And Rome also was set in thilke honour
