The Life and Death of Martin Bucer.
[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.


162

That light of truth which shin'd in Bucers brest
Inlightned others, and restor'd much rest
To many, whose unquiet souls did lye
Under the burthen of Idolatry.
He was laborious, striving every houre
To sucke some hony from each pleasing flowre;
He was belov'd of all, that lov'd to pry
Into the bosome of Divinity:

193

Sweet was his life, and death; his well spent dayes
Began in goodnesse, and expir'd with praise.
