[The great Macedon that out of Perse chasyd]
The great Macedon that out of Perse chasyd
Darius of whose huge power all Asy Rang,
In the riche arke of Homers rymes he placyd,
Who fayned gestes of hethen Prynces sang;
Darius of whose huge power all Asy Rang,
In the riche arke of Homers rymes he placyd,
Who fayned gestes of hethen Prynces sang;
What holly grave, what wourthy sepulture
To Wyates Psalmes shuld Christians then purchase?
Wher he dothe paynte the lyvely faythe and pure,
The stedfast hope, the swete returne to grace
To Wyates Psalmes shuld Christians then purchase?
Wher he dothe paynte the lyvely faythe and pure,
The stedfast hope, the swete returne to grace
Of iust Dauyd by parfite penytence,
Where Rewlers may se in a myrrour clere
The bitter frewte of false concupicense,
How Jewry bought Vryas deathe full dere.
Where Rewlers may se in a myrrour clere
The bitter frewte of false concupicense,
How Jewry bought Vryas deathe full dere.
In Prynces hartes goddes scourge yprynted depe
Myght them awake out of their synfull slepe.
Myght them awake out of their synfull slepe.
HENRY HOWARD, EARL OF SURREY
