Faine would I see your universities,
And what learned men your academie yields.
From Haspurg[1325] have I brought a learned clarke 45
To hold dispute with English orators:
This doctor, surnamde Jaques Vandermast,
A Germaine borne, past into Padua,
To Florence and to fair Bolonia,
To Paris, Rheims, and stately Orleans, 50
And, talking there with men of art, put downe
The chiefest of them all in aphorismes,[1326]
