SO have I seen a frolick Bridegroom come, And guild with smiles the gaudy Wedding-room, Joy dancing on his Face, whilst in his Eye The young Bride's Blushes kept true Harmony: Just with that look the Romans Victors all In Triumph rid unto the Capital; But not the Deecij to their Death, their Eyes Beheld but Fame, Thine blest Eternity; Most like the Fire-prooft Martyr, that proclaims His Conquest crown'd in Pyramids of Flames, In ravishment of Soul; and leaves the Toy Of Life, not with excess of Pain, but Joy. I, so brave CAPEL fell; the Scaffold bore No look of life, but he Dying wore, Death lookt like Death, and all the standers by, As if that he had come, to see them dye; Envy her self Great CAPELs Triumph sung; Earth groan'd his Exit; whilst all Heaven rung With a loud Plaudit, extasi'd to see This last Great Act, of his red Tragedy.
Treason combin'd, call'd Law established; Immediate Death by Tyrants menaced, Could not his Rock-built Constancy abate; But his Just Soul stood still Resolv'd like Fate. And had the Machine of the whole World broke, The Ruins still had him undaunted took: To view his Life, would but redrown'd the Eye Of his and Virtue's Friends; Truth's History Shall write it to the Age unborn, and they Peruse it with that Zeal good Vestals pray; And that sad Page which tells his Death, appears The Winding-sheet of many Sighs and Tears; His Life, Why? 'tis a Theme for Angels meet; But this I'le say, Of all the Heav'n-bound Fleet, Of Crimson Martyrs, through the red Sea gon, Of England's Treason and Rebellion, Except their matchless Royal Admiral, CAPEL came richest home in the Ark Loyal; Where all the Stars shot Volleys, and was giv'n Eternal Welcome to his Haven, Heaven.
