The life and Death of Jerom of Prague.

His brother Huss most worthily succeed;
And, as two Twins, for their heroick Spirit,
The one, the others honour may inherit.
For, by John Huss, Jerom was blestly ayded,
Where by the Romish-rout he was invaded;
And, Jerom, hearing Huss was wrong'd by Rome,
To vindicate his quarrell, did presume.
But, in the tryall, found his heeles tript up.
Fearfull (by Romish rage) to taste his Cup;
Yet, at the last, that tempting blast ore blown,
His doubled and redoubled Zeal was shown:
Stoutly recanting his forc'd recantation,
To th'Death he hated Romes abomination.
Which did their Romish furie so enflame,
That, torturing him, they Tygers fierce became;
His head (like Huss) with painted Divels, arrayd,
His Soule to Heaven, outragious flames convayd.
