An Epitaphe vpon the death of Ihon Caluin, poorely and plainly enterred at Geneua.
The terrour of the Romishe route,doeth lye engraued here:
Whose losse all good men waile, of whom
the wicked stoode in feare.
Of whom euen Vertue fayre her self,
might vertue learne: now why
So grosly gravde doest reader aske
doeth learned Calvin lye?
While Caluin liude, dame Modestie
did hym associate still:
And she her self here placed hym,
when Death did Caluin kill.
O blessed graue that doest enclose,
a guest so godlie graue:
Thou doest surpasse the Marble toumbs
and kynges sepulchers braue.
