King.

When as the Sun forsakes his christall spheare, How darke and vgly is the gloomy skie? And in his place ther's nothing well appeare, But cloudes that in his glorious circuit flie. So when a King forsakes his royall place, There still succeed oblique and darke disgrace. Ch. Middleton

Looke how the day hater Mineruaes bird, Whilest priuiledged with darknes and the night: Doth liue secure himselfe of others feard, But if by chaunce discouered in the light, O how each little foule with enuy stird, Calls him to iustice, vrges him with spight, Summons the feathered flocks of all the wood, To come to scorne the tyrants of their blood, So fares the King laid open to disgrace. S. Daniell.

And forth hee's brought vnto the accomplishment, Deckt with the crowne and princely robes that day: Like as the dead in other lands are sent Vnto their graues in all their best aray. And euen like good did him this ornament. For what he brought he must not beare away, But buries there his glory and his name, Intomb'd for euermore in others blame. Idem.
