GEORGIVS BVCHANANUS SCOTVS.
Of Rome.
I nothyng muse a Shepheard doeth,in Rome the scepter holde:
Sith that a Shepheard built the same,
(as sundrie bookes haue tolde)
And sith the founder of the same,
with Wouluishe milke was fedde:
I maruell nothyng I at all,
though Rome of Woulues be spedde.
But this me thinketh wondrous straunge,
that safe a flocke should rest
In Rome wt rauenyng murdryng woulues,
and neuer be opprest.
Against Pope Pius.
Pope Pius heauen for money solde:Death will not let hym staie,
[77]
Pope P. must take his waie.
Fratres EXTRA MVNDVM.
These Omnia Munda doe defile,with finger, taile, and tong:
In Mundo merito thei saie,
thei dwell not men among.
