Epigram. 19. Ad D. Thomam Bilson Episc. Winton. filium libelli sui patronum.

Should I prescribe you rules (yet who am I
That should goe to prescribe rules vnto you?)
These they should be; t'adore the Deitie
And next to God, to giue the Prince his due.
VVill you haue yet a more compendious way?
Follow your fathers steps; you cannot stray.
