The Life and Death of David Chytræus, who dyed Anno Christi 1600.
421
Chytræus may impropriate ample share
Of honour and renown; who from a lad
An even Connative disposition had
To learning, which his parents did promove,
And which in time, he rarely did improve:
Commencing at but fifteen years of age,
Master of Arts; and with Melancthon sage
In his owne house, was blestly educated,
And most profoundly by him doctrinated.
In whom Melancthon such proficiency
Found, even unto admiration high
That this his pregnant Pupill afterward,
He as his son did tenderly regard.
Chytræus also in processe of time,
To such a highth of honour up did clime:
For's excellency in all rare Literature
As did from all that knew him love procure,
And favour from the States of Germany,
And as he liv'd, so honour'd he did dye.
