The Life and Death of William Grindall.
[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.


351

True vertue rain'd in Grindals brest,
His Charity bespeakes him blest:
He loved peace, and hated those
That dar'd to prove Religions foes.
Renowned Ridley took delight
To see his vertue shine so bright;
He like a star gave light to all
That sat in darknesse, pinch'd with thrall,

352

And thus this glistring star went downe,
And set in Heav'n with much renowne
Where now he beares his part, and sings
Blest hallalujahs to the Kng of Kings.
