The Life and Death of Myconius, who died Anno Christi 1546.
141
Into the bosome of Divinity;
His heart was alwayes flexively inclind
To what was good; he had a golden minde
That would not bend to drosse, but still aspire
To heaven, and faith gave wings to his desire;
He was belov'd of all that lov'd Gods name.
The trumpet of his voyce would still proclaime
The word of God to those that would indure
To have their wounds be brought unto a cure:
By whose examples we may learne to thrive
In grace; His present worth is still alive.
