QVATORZAIN. 3
[He that did seeke the poore mens wrongs to right]
He that did seeke the poore mens wrongs to rightHe that maintain'd his natiue countries lawes,
He that in trueth and iustice did delight
Is now consum'd by deaths deuouring iawes,
Was it by heauens high court of Parliament,
Decreed that his lifes date so soone should ende,
Oh then let vs vpon the earth lament
That we haue lost in him a publique friend
The ioy of many in his graue now lieth,
And he in heauen enioyes immortall blisse,
His care is vanisht and in him now dieth,
And liues in others that his life doe misse
Thus death strooke many with this fatall stroke
And keeping natures lawes, our lawes he broke.
