[For Iesus sake, great toyle Paul vnderwēt]

For Iesus sake, great toyle Paul vnderwēt,
For planting faith, where hee so euer staid.
At last to seven-Hild Rome (good Paul was sent
There for two yeares, an haruest good he made,
Within fift yeare as humane writings say,
The Lyon Nero did the Apostle slay.
