The Life and Death of John Rogers, who died Anno Christi 1555.

His envious Countrey for security,
Yet his undaunted courage would not move,
That alwayes stood (as Sentinell) to love.
'Twas not a prison could affection swage;
He, like a Bird sung sweetest in a cage,
When first the Bible, with great paines and care,
He into English did translate so far,
That knowing men did admire the same;
And justly did extoll his lasting fame.
Who did contemne the fury of all those,
Who both to us and him were mortall foes.
