The Life and Death of George Prince of Anhalt, who died Anno Christi 1553.

Full frought with vertues, of each severall kinde
Is here presented; ornaments of grace,
Such as doe challenge, not the second place,
But first by merit: here you may behold
One, whose rare vertues no Pen can unfold.
In pious duties he did strive to be
Transcendant; who was by nature free,
For to the Poore he reliefe did give,
During the time that he on earth did live.
Read but his life, and then at large youle see,
Monopoliz'd in him most vertues be.
