The Life and Death of Conrade Pellican, who dyed Anno Christi 1556.

In the worlds wide-wildernesse, he grew so strong
In grace and goodnesse, that he soon became
An ample Subject for the mouth of Fame;
He was admir'd by all that lov'd to be
Serious proficients in Divinity;
He lives, he lives, although his body lyes
Inshrin'd by earth; True virtue never dyes.
