摘要：

In 1573, the Dutch rebels sent a young poet, Janus Dousa, to Queen Elizabeth of England to ask for her military assistance against Philip II's governor, the Duke of Alva. Dousa tried to gain access to her and her minister Cecil by means of two latin Odes. Notwithstanding a courteous reception of the poet by Cecil, the mission was not successful and left practically no traces in the historiography of the Dutch Revolt. Still, due to the Odes and a Satyre published in 1575 but hardly known to the historians, we can form an image of the use of Latin poetry in diplomacy and political propaganda during the Dutch Revolt.
