The Life and Death of John Knox, who dyed Anno Christi 1572.
[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.

324

Undaunted Knox would never fear to tell
The best their follyes, if they did not well:
He was severe to those that would not
Observant to his preach'd Divinity:
He lov'd the wayes of peace, and would delight
Himselfe in Cods just Lawes both day and night:
His soul would be laborious to fullfill
The sweet commands of his deare makers will.
In peace he liv'd, and with a peacefull breath
He call'd on God, and yeelded unto death.
