[Had we but such Reformers in our dayes]
[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.

Had we but such Reformers in our dayes
As Calvin was, we should have cause to praise
Their blest endeavours; but alas our Times
Are daily acting (not Reforming) Crimes;
Heroick Calvins heart was alwayes true
To truth, and still would give the Church her due,
His soul was truely willing to take paines,
More for the publicke good, then private gaines.
His life was fil'd with troubles, yet his mind
(Even like the glistring Glow-worme) alwayes shin'd
Brightest, when most surrounded with the night
Of sad afflictions; Calvins whole delight
Was in the law of God, from which his heart
Being steel'd with truth, could not be mov'd to start.
