An EPITAPH upon KING CHARLES.
SO falls that stately Cedar; while it stoodThat was the only glory of the Wood;Great Charles, thou earthly God, celestial MaWhose life, like others, though it were a span;Yet in that span was comprehended moreThan Earth hath waters, or the Ocean shore:Thy heavenly virtues Angels should rehearse,It is a theam too high for humane Verse:He that would know thee right, then let him 〈◊〉〈◊〉Ʋpon thy rare incomparable Book,And read it o're and o're: which if he do.Hee'l find thee King, and Priest, and Prophet too;And sadly see our loss, and, though in vain,With fruitless wishes call thee back again:Nor shall oblivion sit upon thy Herse,Though there were neither Monument, nor VerseThy Suff'rings and thy Death let no man name.It was thy Glory, but the Kingdoms Shame.
J.H.
