Who can depresse to dust and rayse when best him please:
And as I thus amidst my musinges did remayne,
I did resigne my crowne, and deemde al honoures vayne:
And though it greeude me muche to feele the fall I felte,
Yet was I well content, I could not as I would:
For which I left my lande, my people, and my place.
The Saxons they obtaynde the wage for which they warrde:
When I three yeares had raygn’d, without one day of rest,
Euen then in mourning robes at Rome I did ariue,
And there contemning all the worlde, and worldly thinges,
