[...] STORM And DEATH OF THE PROTECTOR Enſuing the ſame.

[Page]

IN that Prodigious Winde, when lately dy'd

This Nations Scourge, that Barbarous Regicide,

Heaven did proclaim with a moſt dreadful Breath,

Its Vengeance on the Tyrant at his Death.

He that all other Villains did excell,

Was not to go with common ſigns to Hell.

Commets light Princes to their Sepulchers:

His end in ſtorms, was like a Conjurers.

As firſt was Rome, founded was our New State,

And juſt like Hero was our firſt Tyrants fate:

Wolf nurſed Romulus, together drew,

By Liberty proclaim'd an Impious Crew

Of baniſh'd Thieves, and bloudy Fugitives,

Such that their Neighbors ſcorn'd to give them wives:

Strengthen'd with theſe, having his Brother ſlain,

Committed Rape, with war began his Raign.

To Jupiter he prays for Victory,

And with Religion cloakt his Cruelty,

Till in a Tempeſt from his Subjects ſnacht,

He was with Thunder to the Shades diſpacht:

In Romulus his ſteps, and by his Crimes,

Up to the Throne Brittains Uſurper climbes:

The holy Hypocrite, firſt Heaven to mock,

Then brings his Righteous Sovereign to the Block!

Gods Worſhip he forbids, his Prieſts reviles,

His Temples robs, pulls down, or elſe defiles.

To keep what he uſurpt by our own Jars,

Upon his peaceful Neighbors forceth Wars;

Aſſaults their Towns, onely to give thoſe Graves,

Whoſe generous Souls repin'd to be his Slaves.

At length of Orphants Tears and Chriſtian Bloud,

Which he had ſpilt, the Cry became ſo loud,

Incenſed Heaven with a Tempeſtuous Winde,

Swept from the Earth this Locuſt of Mankinde.

And after death, as wicked Romulus

Was deified, ſo are there ſome with us,

That ſtyle this Monſter Hero, Hercules,

His Puny Upſtart Succeſſor to pleaſe.

How baſe are Flatterers! Even Wickedneſs

Shall Panegericks finde, if't have ſucceſs.

On the late STORM, &c.

REſign we muſt, Hell his damn'd Soul doth claim,

In Storms as hideous as his curſed Fame:

His dying ſcreiks affrighted makes [...]le;

Trees are turn'd down for his Inferna [...] Pile,

And about him round for Gibbets, Roots are toſt:

In ſuch a Storm Great Vandermaſt was loſt.

Ma [...] room then for him, Hell, who kill'd his King,

And [...]rom Rebelling's fall'n to Bellowing.

From the top on's Pride this Monſter now lies dead,

With ruin'd Soul, and Curſes 'bout him ſpread.

His latter Fury from Gods Temple rent

A Sacred

Dr. He [...].

Prieſt, a Murthered Innocent.

Houſes from Towns, Corns from their fields lye reſt,

This as his lateſt Legacy he left.

The Ocean which ſo long our Iſle confin'd,

No bounds could give to his ambitious Minde:

Our Bonds enlargement was his earneſt toyl:

To a ſ [...]d Priſon hath he turn'd our Iſle.

Under both Tropicks are his Miſchiefs ſpoke,

He ruin'd England, yet would he Flanders yoke.

In uncivil Broyls he did this Land engage:

The Nobleſt ſtill were Objects of his Rage.

New ways of Treaſon he his Countrey ſhow'd,

And then conducted Regicides abroad.

Ungrateful man! no tears we can allow

To him that gave us whips and ſcourges too.

Uſurpers fear and tremble, now you ſee,

The great'ſt of Villains from the Grave's not free.

Nature her ſelf took notice of his Death,

And jocoun'd ſwell'd the Sea with ſuch a breath,

That to remoteſt Shores her Billows rold,

And the near Fate of this Great Rebel told.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
