Chapter II

Cvra Dei: Romæ pestis: Mundi horror: et Orci
Pernicies: cæli fulmen ab arce tonans.
Limite in hoc modico tanti jacet hospitis umbra:
Vmbra silet; tamen est hostibus horror adhuc.

JOHANNES WILLOCVS.[435]

Obiit in Anglia.

Cum Patriæ implessem donis cœlestibus urbes,
Mille olim obiiciens mortibus hanc animam,
Ipsa adeo exultat cæli sic luce sereni,
Pene sibi ut cælum, et lux queat esse aliis:
Excessi patria lætus tellure, libensque:
Vt vicina istis crescerat aucta opibus.
Hic etiam sevi cælestia semina verbi;
Gensque pia hic nostram plurima sensit opem.
Hæc et opes mihi, cumque opibus cumulavit honores;
Nec secus ac Patria me Anglia civem habuit.
Bis civis gemina in patria: mihi tertia restat;
Possidet hæredem tertia sola suum.

CHRISTOPHORVS GVDMANNVS,[436]

Anglus, Ecclesiastes Andreapolitanus: moritur in Cestrensi provincia
Angliæ an. 1601.

Non Ego, ceu credis, Scotis peregrinus in oris:
Publica nec rerum cura aliena mihi.
Hic geniti Christo, hic geritur Republica Christi:
Christi Ego sum. In Christo his sumque ego congenitus;
Quin genui hic partem Christo. Patremque Ducemque
Et licet, et gaudent me vocitare suum.
Queis patriam peperi: non hanc: sed quæ altera cælo est,
Hac prior; his dicar qui peregrinus ego:
Alterutra jactent se alii regione profectos,
Nomine se jactat utraque terra meo.

JOHANNES ARESKINUS,[437]

Dunius, Equestri familia ortus, Religionis gravis et constans assertor,
concionator nobilis, natus annos LXXX, moritur XII Martij, 1590.

Post tot avos veteres, et tot decora inclyta rerum
Surgit Areskino gloria major adhuc:
Scilicet illa Crucis Christi, quæ sola perennis:
Quæ regit una homines, quæ facit una deos.
Robora consiliis, pietatem miscet utrisque;
Et faciendo docet, atque docendo facit.
Heroem nullum huic æquarint secula. Nullus
Inter avos veteres fama et honore prior.

JOHANNES BRABNERVS,[438]

Aberdonensis, Ecclesiastes Celurcanus[439] et Dunensis,
moritur an. 1564, postr. Kal. Novembris.

Nascendi primam dedit Aberdonia lucem:
Ille renascendi munera rettribuit.
Vtrum ergo debet Patriæ plus, an Patria illi?
Mutua sic rerum gratia rite coit.

JOHANNES VIN‑RAMVS,[440]

Cænobii Augustinianorum olim Præfectus apud Andreanos, postea
inter Christi Ministros: obiit senex XXIIX. Septemb. 1581.

Quo te censu hominum, quo te, Vin‑Rame, reponam
In numero? hic multum est anxia mens animi.
{461} Se prodit Pietas, neque turbida lucis imago est:
Spargit enim de se lumina clara sui.
Quin te aperi tandem manifesto in lumine. Pelle
Turbidulos sensus, cumque pudore metus.
Cum pietate etenim postquam se nubila miscet
Mens hominum, lucis deperit ille vigor.
Gaudet agens Pietas manifesta in luce. Nec illa
Sit Pietas, quæ haud pro scit Pietate mori.

JOHANNES ROWIVS,[441]

Ecclesiastes Perthensis, obit xvi. VIIIbris an. 1580.

Consilio præstans, rebus gravis auctor agendis,
Præcipuos inter, Lumina prima Patres.
Cognitio varia: immensa experientia rerum.
Omnigenam linguam mens præit ingenii:
Exactor disciplinæ, vindexque severus,
Ipse sibi censor, seque ad amussim habuit:
Sancta domus, castique lares, frons læta, severa:
Larga manus miseris, mensa benigna bonis.
Vrbis delicium: sancti pia copula amoris:
Una fides, fidei publica cura simul
Clara viris, cultuque decens, pulcherrima Pertha:
Rowivs at Perthæ haud ultima fama fuit.

* * * * *

JACOBVS LAUSONIVS,[442]

Ecclesiastes Edinburgensis, obiit xii. Octobris an. 1584.

Ingenio felix Lausonivs, ore diserto,
Acer judicio, consiliisque gravis.
Corpore non magno, mens ingens: Spiritus ardens,
Invectumque decus pectoris atque animi.
{461} Non tulit Impietas. Patria migrare necesse est.
Mitior in profugum terra aliena fuit.
Hospitii cui jura volens vivo ista dedisset,
Multa gemens tristi in funere dat tumulum.

* * * * *

DAVID FERGVSIVS,[443]

Pastor ad Fermilo‑dunum, obiit xxiij Augusti an. 1598.

Qvem non erudiit solers Academia, quem non
Finxit Stagira nobilis:
Nesciit ille tamen nescire illa omnia solers,
Quæ et ista et illa prodidit,
Quin Doctore Deo scivit meliora sequutus,
Quæ et ista et illa nesciit.
Disce hinc quæ melius doceas Academia. Tuqe
Disce hinc Stagira nobilis.

GEORGIVS HAIVS.

Postqvam animum primis patriæ effinxere Camenæ
Artibus, excepit culta Lvteta sinu.
Cecropiis opibus, spoliisque orientis onustus,
Intulit in patriam munera opima suam.
Ingenium vegetum comitatur gratia linguæ
Lactea Nectareo verba lepore fluunt.
Dum parat excedens locupletes linquere natos,
Publica privatis posthabuisse ferunt.
Optima sed Pietas patrimonî portio. Privis
Si nimium indulges, publica rapta ruunt.
