For herein subjects shew that they are trew;

But privately at home I shewde my selfe,

To be no lover of vaine worldly pelfe.

My deedes have tongues to speak, though I surcease,

My orators the learned strive to bee,

Because I twined paulmes in time of peace,

And gave such gifts, that made faire learning free;

My care did build them bowers of sweet content,

Where many wise their golden time have spent.

A noyse of gratefull thankes within mine eares,
