The Life and Death of Martin Chemnisius.
[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.


371

This Authour, eminent Chemnisius grave,
Among these worthies, a prime place may have;
Who, by his most industrious pains ore came
The many rubs which would have quentcht his fame:
And to such height of learning did arise
As made great Princes him most highly prize.
Yea, so transcendently his fame did shine,
That, One him stil'd, a most profound Divine,
A prime Philosopher, one justly known,
For parts and piety, second to none.

372

And thus he liv'd, and dyed full of yeeres,
And with much honour left this vail of teares.
