THOMAS SACKEVYLLE IN commendation of the vvorke. to the Rreader
These royall kinges, that reare vp to the skyeTheir Palaice tops, and decke them all with gold:
VVith rare and curious woorkes they feed the eye:
And showe what riches here great Princes hold.
A rarer work and richer far in worth,
Castilios hand presenteth here to the,
No proud ne golden Court doth he set furth
But what in Court a Courtier ought to be.
The Prince he raiseth houge and mightie walles,
Castilio frames a wight of noble fame:
The kinge with gorgeous Tyssue claddes his halles,
The Count with golden vertue deckes the same,
VVhos passing skill lo Hobbies pen displaise
To Brittain folk, a work of worthy praise.
