The pope in his fury doth answer returne , To a letter the which to Rome is late come , I Doe esteme your kyndnes much For sendyng worde so sone , Your diligence it hath ben such It is ariued at Rome : But when I had pervsd your byl In that you set thereto your wyl And eke your mynd applyed vntyl The writyng of the same . I did beleue it to be true But surely I must say to you It greued mee those lines to vew Were wrtten in your name . ❧ And sure it is no maruell loe For daylye I doe heare , The matter semeth to be so As amply doth appeare : For euery man doth tell for true The same that late was sent of you But out alas , your tidynges new Doth much appall my spirite . And makes me sweare and makes me teare To pull and hale , and rend my heare And brynges me dayly in dispaire To thinke on this despite . But sith there is no remedye That mine obedient chylde , Is hanged vp vpon a tree And to to much reuylde : What shoulde I doe but curse and ban And hurte them toe the worst I can For hanging vp so good a man That bare mee such good wyll ? But yf I had him here at Rome His body should be shryned soone And masse at mornyng and at noone With chantyng of each bell . For euer shoulde be sayd and soung The deuyls to controvle , And prayers all aboute his tombe With senceyng for his soule : That neuer a deuyll so deepe in hell Shoulde once presume with him to mell Nor once approch his body tyll To vexe him any way . And I wolde kepe his body so That it from hence should neuer go And dyuers of my fryers mo For him should dayly pray . And gladly wolde I be reuengd On England yf I might , Because they haue toe much a abusd My Bull with great despight : And make thereat a laughing game And set but little by my name And much my holynes defame And dayly me dispyse . Their Queene hath chast the rebels all That loued to bow their knees to Ball And hanged their quarters on the wall As meat for crowes and pyes . But I wyll walke and dayly seke My Purgatorie thorow , And cause all the deuyls at my becke To me their knees to bow : And where as I may any fynde That to their Prince haue ben vnkynde Be sure , with mee they shall be shrynde As they deserued haue . And cheefly now Iohn Felton hee Shall euer be beloued of mee Because that he so louinglye My Bull did seeme to saue . But yf that I coulde haue at once The paryng of his toe , His head , his quarters , or his bones That with the wynde doe bloe : Then shoulde they be layd vp by mee As reliques of great dignitie For euery man that comes to see Those Iewels of such grace . The Nortons bones should so be shrynd That now hanges wauering in the wynd Yf that I coulde deuyse or fynd To bryug them to this place . And I wyll curse and ban them all That speake against my powre , And seekes to make my kyngdome fall My curse shall them deuowre : And yf that here I might you see For wrytyng lately vnto mee Be sure , ye should rewarded bee As best I coulde bethynke . And as for Wylliam Elderton That lately sent me worde to Rome Be sure that he should haue lyke dome To bye him pen and ynke . Take this as written from our grace That vnto you we send , Because we want both time and place To recompence you frend : As for the boyes that trump and scoff And at my holynes doe laugh I mynd to dresse them wel enough Yf case I had them here . And for my seruants that abyde And long haue had their pacience tryde From Romaine faith that wyl not slyde I wysh them all good there . S. P. FINIS .
