For sith we both haue sworne aleagance due,

To Rome, to Rome I euer wil be true.

15.

“No feare of force, no hasarde, no mishappe,

Doth dant my mynde, I dare what dare be donne,

Though nowe we sit in lady fortune’s lappe.

By fayth defilde, no honour can be wonne:

The wrath of God men periurde cannot shun:

Do thou therefore what best thyselfe doth seeme,

Giue them their ryght, for that is best I deeme.”
