Sent me to Rome, as legate of this lande,
To make report how here our state did stande.

My deedes at home[1173] inrichte me with renowne,
My talke abroad, with proper filed phrase,
Adornde my head euen with a laurell crowne:
The emperour did much commend my wayes,
So that I was bedeckt with double prayse:
I could not reade, my lerning was but weake,
Yet they of Rome did muse to heare me speake.
