To the Reverend Father in God, George, Lord Bishop of Hereford

Gregory's learning, though a Pope he were,
Ever no shame it is at all to beare:
O then you sucke that fount, whence gratiously
Rightly came learning unto Gregory ;
Greatly you study that same sacred Law,
In Gregory that bred so great an awe,
Very well waying what in him was good,
Sucking that in, but leaving rotten food.

Choice learning in this worthy Prelate rested,
Ohe Romes Primacy full sore detested:
Know let the Papists then, not yet the luck
Ever they had Pope Gregory to Svcke .
