Thomas Drant, Archedeacon
in praise of this Booke.
An happy turne that Casa once did hatche,Of hauiours choice this booke in Ital' phrase:An Archebishop, and writer without matcheIn this he was, and peereles pight with prayse.Such he his lore so well and wise doth lend:It heare ne reade we can, but must amend.
This booke by Tyber, and by Po hath past,Through all Italia Townes and Country lands.Iberus, throughe thy Spanishe coasts as fastIt after yoade: and Gauls it held in hands,Throughe Rhenus realmes it spred in prosperous speede,To Lordes and Ladies reaching comly reede.
It Peterson, to Britan eyes doth bringTranslated true and trimme: and fit to frameFayre maners fyne for men. This prety RingBedecketh feate our life: discourse and gameIt ordereth apt with grace. The booke is graue,Eke wise and good, for ciuil folke to haue.
