LAment and Wonder, Reader, here lies one Intombd, who did refuse t ascend a Throne; Who Dyed, by the common stroke of Fate, As other Men, but livd not at that Rate; By Nature Great, yet Greater by Successe, But above all, was in himself Greatest. He was a Souldier second unto none In Courage, and a General well known In Prudence; and tis equally as true, He was a Loyal, Faithful Subject too; The Tyrant whom, both Kings and Nations feard, He only feard him not, but boldly Dard. The Tyrant being dead, this Genral came, And saw th succeeding Rage, then Overcame; Not by the Noise of Arms, but by the Deep Silence of Counsels, which he knew to keep; Strange kind of Conqring this, and almost New, In one Dayes space three Kingdoms to subdue, (Without engaging of his Tongue, or Sword) And yet of Either would not be the Lord; Accompting it more Grandeur for to save Three Scepters, and Restore them, than to have: For being made an Umpire, did decree Twas better to Restore, a King, than be: And thus resolvd, the King he did Restore, Then Him, as Caesar, Humbly did Adore. It was King CHARLES, for whose most worthy Sake (And not his own) he did this Conquest make; That all may know by reading of his Story, Humility was his Aim, not Glory; Since with more Modesty unto the King He did submit, than those who injurd him: Most happy man, who didst three Kingdoms gain, That CHARLES th Second might solely in them Reign. A Prince, whose Virtues are so Great, that He, Deserves more Kingdoms Crowns, as well as three: Forgetting nothing but past Injuries; Mindful of nothing, but good Offices. Even Him he did restore unto his Throne; With Him, PEACE, JUSTICE, and RELIGION. That done, Ten years survivd, that he might see What was restored, might conserved be; And so become more famous to maintain The Crowns Support, and Peace, than to obtain. For which, his Cares and Life he valued not To keep that alwayes, which at once he got. All good Men were his Friends, his Foes were they, Who GOD, the KING, and COUNTREY disobey. Titles, Honours, Wealth, he did inherit, (High as they were) yet much beneath his Merit: Though Fortune Raisd him above others, he Had in himself the more Humility. At length, this brave Heroick Genral Dyd, About the time his Son had tane a Bride; That so the Joyes in her might seem to dry Those Tears, which ought to fall ats Obsequy: And though those Joyes were Great, yet could not boast For to compensate what the Publick lost In him; nor is there any Remedy Of Grief, if masterd by Calamity; Which is so great, that nothing can repair, Although he left a Son, his worthiest Heir: For Virtue hath no Parent, from whose Race, It may derive to Successors its Grace. HEROES are such by Birth, and such they Dye Without Transmission to Posterity; And such a one as this nor England saw, Nor ever shall the World to keept in awe. He Vaulted is with Kings, although tis known He was no King, because he would be none. What though he lie by Kings, by whose stout Hand And Policy, even Kings themselves do stand; It is great Honour, but tis justly shown To give a Tomb to him, who savd the Throne: Yet, though these Marbles do consume, thy Fame Shall even by Age renew, still be the same: For he, who Living, did refuse to have The Worlds Applause, best claims it in the Grave: And he deserves Heavns favours to partake, To whom the Earth could no Requital make; ------ ------ ------ --- ------ ------ Who can But Mourn for, and Admire this Glorious Man!
