* In H. 2. this poem has the rubric Item Guleardus de Vitæ siuæmutacione. In H. 1. it follows the Apocalypsis Goliæ, with the rubric Explicit Apocalypsis, Incipit Confessio ejusdem. In C.1. it has the simple title Confessio Goliæ.

The pretended drinking song, which has rendered the name of Walter Mapes so popular, was made up from this poem. It is composed of lines 45—52, 61—76. Bale, and after him Leyser, have made two poems of it, one under the title I have given above, a second under the title “Carmen ebriosorum, Lib.i.” beginning with l. 41, Tertio capitulo, etc.
