Deus vltimum refugium: To the right worshipfull, Mr: D: Laifeild, sometimes my Tutor in

WHEN Priam saw his Citie set on fire,
At once and drowned, in his Peoples blood,
To pacifie the heavens enkindled ire,
(Since humane helpe, doth faile to do him good:)
Creusa warnes him to the Altar flie,
Although he were assured there to die.

The ase is every christians in distresse,
Who to the Lord, himselfe should recommend,
As who can best the wrongfull cause redresse,
And patiently t' abide, what he shall send:
Fall'n into handes of foes, onr freedome thence,
Or glorious death, to crowne our innocence.
