The Life and Death of Colet.
Behold his Embleme, whose admired worth,Few Pens can prove sufficient to set forth
Unto the World, and much lesse mine, whose skill
Can be deriu'd but from an Infant Quill.
He had a rare and well innobled heart,
Whose rich endeavours gave a life to Art:
He alwayes was ambitious to embrace,
(Although t'were seated in the meanest place)
True vertue; and he tooke delight to see
Youth well adorn'd with Ingenuitie.
Pauls Schoole can witnesse that his liberall Purse
Was ever open to reward the Nurse
That gave true Wisdome sucke therfore his Name
Shall alwayes ride upon the wings of Fame.
