The pilgrimage of Princes penned out of sundry Greeke and Latine aucthours | ||
Herods death.
When Herode raigned in Iuda King,his lothsome life to ledde:
On sucking babes and infantes bloode,
this cruell tyraunt fedde.
To seeke our Sauiour Christ he kilde,
the babes of Iuda lande:
And thought our God coulde not escape
his fomie blodie hande.
Of Wormes this Herode was deuourde,
of vermin loe and mise:
His bones, his fleshe, was all consumde,
and eaten vp of Life.
