"Lo! he takes Milan, in the league's despite:

  Lo! with the youthful Sforza makes accord:

  Lo! Bourbon the fair city keeps, in right

  Of Francis, from the furious German horde:

  Lo! while in other high emprize and fight

  Elsewhere is occupied his royal lord,

  Nor knows the pride and license of his host,

  Through these the city shall anew be lost.
