The Life and Death of Peter Ramus, who dyed Anno Christi 1572.
327
Himselfe t'obtaine a well-composed minde:
His heart was serious, and he tooke great paines
To sowe good seeds, and after reape the gaines.
He was belov'd of all that lov'd the fame
Of learning; for he had a winged name.
His care, his love, his industry was such,
That in few years his heart attain'd to much:
But in conclusion, Envie that still crowds
Into true Fame, involv'd him in the clouds
Of sudden ruine; Papists thought it good
To take a surfeit of his guiltlesse blood.
