Epigr. 45.

Lætus did in his mistresse quarrell, die,
Quintus was slayne defending of the lie.
Germanus in his friendes defence did fall.
Sakellus died striuing for the wall.
Merus did spend his life vpon a aiest.
Sannius lost it at a dronken feast.
Mirus at Sundaies wake, reueng'de the wrong,
Of his bull dogge, vntill he lay along.
What sayst thou now contemn'de religion?
Vice hath her Saynts and martyrs, thou hast none.
