How can the worthy name and memory
Of Scaliger in black oblivion dye:
Who by his pregnant wit and studious braines,
And indefatigable care and paines:
In Greek and Hebrew grew so excellent
That being sent for, he to Leiden went,
Where he was made Professour, and became
A man of high renown and spreading fame:
And gracing much that University
For fifteen years, he there at last did dye.
