English poem
On the Martyrdom of JULIUS PALMER
by John Foxe (1516–1587)
Whilst for Christ's sake Palmer endures the flame, Like the fam'd three that bears this hero's name, Which higher shoots the more they it oppress, The strengthen'd flames his stronger faith confess. Henceforth amidst the heav'nly hosts he'll bear That palm of righteousness he dy'd for here.
The just shall flourish as the palm tree.
