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]

In yearth: then needes to hell belowe,
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.
