LOYALTIES TEARS Flowing after the Blood of the ROYALL SUFFERER, CHARLES the I. &c.

—Dabit Indignatio versum.

BLood! and a Kings! and such a Kings! and that
Not shed by Tigres or by Dragons Laws,
But Christian humble Subjects Zeal! O blot
Out those faint words which on the Teeth and Paws
Of Barbarisme were grav'd: and in this Nation
For Salvagenesse's Names, write Reformation.
Come, come, Amazement, and attend this Day
Which lets the Powers of night and darknesse loose:
Which Capital enacts it, not to say
I justifie my Justice-trampling Foes:
Which writes a Law, and that in Royal Bloud,
That 'tis in England, Treason to be Good.
A Day which damns it as a deadly Crime
To be a King: A Day in which the stain
Of murderous cruelty those poure on him
Who strove their butchering furie to restrain;
Making that Prince a Tyrant, who denies
His Subjects but his leave to Tyrannize.
A Day in which the sacred Head offends
Because he stoops not to the kicking feet:
In which Laws Basis all Laws structure rends
By not subverting his own Judgement Seat:
In which it must be grand Impietie
Resolv'd Defender of the Faith to be.
O heav'nly-guilty Charles! how blessed were
Those Crimes of His; but how unblessed We
Who now so bloudily released are
From the dear Yoke of such sweet tyrannie:
A tyranny which nobly doth oppresse
The Liberties of none but wickednesse.
When wealth grown common, spoil'd the Common­wealth
By her too full fed Daughter wanton Pride:
And fretfull Schisme, having by wise stealth
Inveigled Numbers Power to her side,
Secur'd the Pulpit-garrisons, and well
By Ʋse and Doctrine arm'd the word Rebell:
When slander first had robb'd him of his Reason,
And from his Counsel Armies sought to bring him:
When by bold cannons mouths more brasen treason
Learn'd to Petition: and when to Un-king him,
Was judg'd the onely way to make him be
A glorious Monarch: Then, then straitned He
Enter'd his widest lists of Virtue: where
His looks on kindest fortune did display
His holy bravery, by which he ne'r
Without a sigh beheld his bloudy Bay;
But sadly ponder'd, how he was constrained
To loose his Subjects, when the field he gained.
So when a tender Father, forc'd to shield
Against rebellious Sonnes his sacred Right,
By dear successe obtains a bloudy field;
His slaughter'd Childrens lamentable sight
The Warre upon his Bowels doth renew,
And makes him die for every one he slew.
Heroick Conflicts these! But nobler they
In which as oft He with Dis [...]sters fought
As with the Rebels: though his Troups gave way,
His gallant Patience ne'r was put to rout.
Thus in whatever unsuccessfull field
He lost his Armies, still his Strength he held.
Strength, strength it is, with an undaunted heart
To see Right beaten, Innocence pursued,
Integrity betray'd by fawning Art,
The Spring of Power by wild streams subdued:
To scorn proud chance, & hug just truth, although
Poore she nought but her naked self can show.
Her did he hug in his hearts Cabinet
Beyond the reach of fatall Nasebies plunder:
Though all his other Holds their copies set,
They ne'r could move this Castle to surrender.
Yet since the English persecute her so,
He means to trie what Scots for Truth will do.
Unhappy Scots! who now blush not to be
False unto Truth: who teach the World what price
They set on Kings: who put their Loyaltie
Into their purse: who to their Avarice,
And fellow▪Rebels, their great Master sell,
That Judas might not want a Parallel.
From Jail to Jail the Royall Sufferer
Is thus by freedoms monstrous Patrons tost.
Nor may his dearest Queen or Children bear
His Desolation company: the most
Favour his Subjects grant him, is, that yet
Him from Himself the Ax forbears to cut.
All else they tear away, not leaving those
Whose sacred Office might his Prayers assist.
O worst of hellish Barbarisme! by whose
Black art, unlesse Charles can be King and Priest,
He must be both from his three Kingdom [...] driven
Here upon Earth, and from the fourth in Heaven.
But his brave Soul was fortifi'd too well
To yield her holy fort of Pietie.
All else he granteth; yet denieth still
To sacrifice the envied Altar: He
Holding, what yet he might not use, maintains
His Realm of Goodnesse, and in Carisbrook reigns.
He reigns: and though his Foes He could not, yet
His nobler Self He conquers; and ih high
Triumph looks down from Constancies brave seat
On the vast Ruins of that Majestie
Which lately flourish'd in full glory on
His British and his Irish potent Throne.
He curses not, but slights false fortune, and
Remembers that three Crowns lesse Princely are
Then Christian resolution, which dares stand
The furie ev'n of Reformations Warre.
O glorious Virtue, which could glory spare,
And highest gains from deepest losses tear!
What though's betrayed Sword appear'd too weak
To vindicate his Honour? yet his Pen
Doth all the Rebels proudest Conquests break;
And oh how much more then his Britain win!
For all the world now bows down to the look
Of his illustrious most triumphant Book.
That Book, on which astonishment must dwell
For evermore: whil'st every Reader there
Beholds what miracles of worth did swell
The Authours Soul. Nor shall his Murderers dare
(Though bloudy malice at his life repines)
Not to admire and love Him in his lines.
But now his Foes worst envie he forestalls,
And lives in Heav'n before they force him thither:
For up He climbs when on his knees He falls,
And by his Meditations, together
With Saints and Angels doth adore that God
Whose noble path of suffrings here he trod.
Him he adores, and to his mercy sues
In their behalf, who none to Him would show.
He sweetly minds Him of those barbarous Jews
Upon whose spight down with his bloud did flow
His pitying pray'rs: And why should mine, saies He
More then thy wrongs, dear Lord, revenged be?
Surely were Rebels not their own worst Foes;
They would permit this royall Saint to live,
And pray for their demerits pardon, whose
Unhappy hearts were too too dead to strive
For life eternall. But alas, it grieves
The wretched Members that their Head but lives
His holy life their scandall is, and He
Is so unsufferably good, that they
No such example can endure to be
A check to their own guilt. Besides no way
They had with free and safe convenience in
The Lyons life-time to divide his skin.
Thus through the People-cheating Pageantry
Of specious formall Court, and Judge, and Barre,
(That He might mock'd, as well's oppressed die)
He convoy'd is to his last Theatre:
Where how he acts his Passions part, may they
Who to this Martyrdome did bring him, say;
Say, Wretches, was Deaths bloudy face to him
So dreadfull as the thought of it to you?
Of's Scepter did he e'r so tender seem
As of the Ax? taught he not Princes how
To reigne in death, when he gave strait command
Not that his Throne, but Block should firmly stand
And wish'd he not that Block had higher been,
That all bloud-thirsty ees that thither came,
Might their dear draught have had, and fully seen
How little he ashamed was of shame?
Yet though thus low, it serv'd him for his step
From earth to heav'ns high kingdome to get up.
Such power at last has holy patience, that
Her deadliest Foes she can compell to be
Her greatest Servants, and make every Plot
Of spight advance her own felicitie.
For know, mistaken Murderers, that you did
Put on his Crown, when you took off his Head.
And now his Houses may his Lands divide,
And reap the fruit of those Divisions they
Spred through his Realms: Now atheistick Pride
The ground-work of Confusion may lay
On prosperous Villany, and call God in
Because he scourges not, to own their sin.
The Covenant, and its Independant spawn
May now blaspheme with credit, having brought
Their seaven years holy Work to end, and drawn
The Rubrick of their pure Religion out
Of their own Sovereigns veins: They now toge­ther
On horseback got, may ride—O say not whether.
Their Triumphs they may read, and see how they
Have by one single universall Blow
Cut down Religions most resolved Stay;
Broke the establish'd Pillar of the Law;
Dash'd out wise Piety, white Continence,
Mild Majesty, and generous Temperance.
Surely all Conquests conquer'd are by this,
But Pilat's, and the Jew's: Yet they are not
In fault, since Christ himself secur'd is
Above the reach of Ax, or Vote, or Scot:
And what could they do more or braver now,
Then murder Him in's Deputy below,
His Deputy, as Lyon, and as Lamb;
As King, and as betrayed, bought and sold?
No; Men could do more; and therefore Fame
Must do them right: for if their Power could
Answer their Courage, they durst have a fling
At God himself, because He is a King.
But heark, what fatall Noise is that which flies
On terrours wings, and thunders at the Skie:
Poor Bradshaw now his leave in vain denies,
For though Charls might not speak, his Bloud will cry
It Cries, & fears nor Guns, nor Trumpets throats,
Nor the more barbarous Roar of Rebels Votes.
A stronger Realms Militia it awakes
Then He was robb'd of here; through all the sphears
With valiant Importunity it breaks,
And sounds a March to Vengeance: In His ears
Who onely the true Independent is
It pleads against the false Ones Salvagenesse.
O desperate Fools! why, why would you compell
Such gentle Bloud so cruelly to speak?
Why could you not have stayed for your Hell,
Till Death had sent you down: but needs must make
Judgement prepare you torments here, and frie
Your guilty Souls in Horrours Miserie?
Frie them it will, if this your Sovereigns Bloud
Makes you not blush: If on your flaming sin
You poure not out a penitentiall floud;
If your most trayterous Ax you feel not in
Your humbled Breasts, that there the cursed Woun [...]
May upon your own smitten hearts rebound.
But when it shall be lawfull, not to lie,
And safely give sublime Desert its due;
When loyall tongues shall not prove Traytours by
Th' Allegiance of Praises; when the few
Shall be more worth then are the Many; when
Truth may have leave to be her self agen:
Then shall true-hearted Muses freely broach
Their richest and their most heroick Vein
To wait on this Blouds streams, and flow in such
A generous and time-defying Strein,
That Charles again shall live in state, and prove
Immortall somewhere else besides Above.
All Nations then amaz'd shall stand, to see
What England had, and needs away would throw:
Then to his Worths illustrious Historie
All pious Kings shall strive to School to go:
In Wonders Odours then shall noblest Fame
Embalme the Glories of His sacred Name.
