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.
