WIth bleedi[n]g Heart and melting Eyes, With inward Sobs and dismal Cries; The most unwel[c]ome News I bring, Of our Great Soveraign Lord the King; Who by the fatal Hand of Death, Resign'd his Kingdoms, Crown and Breath; That did the Royal Scepter sway In Triumph, but the other Day. When Kn[i]ghts and Nobles bow'd their Knee, Beforehis Royal Majesty; Expecting that they might '[s]py, A Princely Answer in his Eye,
The 'special Favours which the[y] sought: But now his Crowned Head is brought Near to the Shadows of the Grave, None able was his Life to save. O! most uncertain World below, Subj[e]ct to Change thou art we know; Nothing is lasting here, for why? This Day we Live, to Morrow Die. And puts a Period to our Cares, Our large Designs in great Affairs; As by our Gracious King we find, Who left us all in Tears behind
Of melting Sorrow, Care and Grief, Who came to yield the Land Relief, When we were in a Mourning State, And threatn'd by proud Rome of late. His Courage soon dispers'd our Fears, And wip'd away our weeping Tears; By yielding us Relief from Rome, Preparing was our fatal Doom. A Friend he was to us indeed, A Friend that came in Time of Need, To Work our great Deliverance, Curbing th[e] growing Pride of France. But now by Death he's snatch'd away, What will United Princes say? When this sad Tydings they receive How will they Sigh, Lament and Grive? They'll want his Conduct in the Field, They'll want his Counsel which did yield The best Directions for the Work, To Overcome the Christian Turk. But G[o]d was pleas'd to call him hence, In his due time to Recompence, His Labours with a Glorious Crown Which cannot shake, nor tumble down. Where with his Queen he does reside; And since they both are Glorify'd Let us not Sigh nor Weep in vain, Our Loss is there eternal Gain. Freed from the Troubles of this Life, Nay, Wars and all contenteous Strife, In Region of Eternal Rest, Where nothing can their Peace molest. And having run the human Race Behold through God's especial Grace, The Princes Ann their Place Supplies, Lord, Counsel her, and make her Wise To Govern well in Church and State: May ever Blessed Angels wait Upon her Royal Majesty, That Blessings may her Portion be.
