[Welfare those gentle Quils (whose ere they be)]
[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.

Welfare those gentle Quils (whose ere they be)
Whose meritorious labours shall set free
The Urne imprisoned Dust of that renown'd
Thrice famous Luther: Let his head be crown'd
With sacred Immortality, and rais'd
Much rather to be wondred at then prais'd.
Let Babes unborn, like fruitfull plants bring forth
To after dayes new Monuments of his worth,
And time-out lasting Name: that Babels Whore
And all his bald-pate panders may ev'n rore
For very anguish, and then gnaw and bite
Their tongues for malice, and their nailes for spite;
Whilst men made perfect in his well know story
May all turne Patrons, and protect his Glory.
