LOYALTIES TEARS FLOWING AFTER THE BLOOD OF THE ROYAL SUFFERER CHARLES I. etc. ENGLAND'S Glory and Shame. BY J. B. — Dabit Indignatio versum. Anno Dom. 1649. LOYALTIES TEARS Flowing after the Blood of the ROYAL SUFFERER, CHARLES the I. etc. — Dabit Indignatio versum. BLood! and a Kings! and such a Kings! and that Not shed by Tigers or by Dragon's Laws, But Christian humble Subjects Zeal! O blot Out those faint words which on the Teeth and Paws Of Barbarism were graved: and in this Nation For Salvagenesse's Names, writ Reformation. Come, come, Amazement, and attend this Day Which lets the Powers of night and darkness lose: Which Capital enacts it, not to say I justify my Justice-trampling Foes: Which writes a Law, and that in Royal Blood, 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 power on him Who strove their butchering fury 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 Impiety Resolved 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 bloodily released are From the dear Yoke of such sweet tyranny: A tyranny which nobly doth oppress The Liberties of none but wickedness. When wealth grown common, spoiled the Commonwealth By her too full fed Daughter wanton Pride: And fretful Schism, having by wise stealth Inveigled Numbers Power to her side, Secured the Pulpit-garrisons, and well By Use and Doctrine armed the word Rebel: When slander first had robbed him of his Reason, And from his Counsel Armies sought to bring him: When by bold cannons mouths more brazen treason Learned to Petition: and when to Un-king him, Was judged the only way to make him be A glorious Monarch: Then, than straitened He Entered his widest lists of Virtue: where His looks on kindest fortune did display His holy bravery, by which he ne'er Without a sigh beheld his bloody Bay; But sadly pondered, how he was constrained To lose his Subjects, when the field he gained. So when a tender Father, forced to shield Against rebellious Sons his sacred Right, By dear success obtains a bloody field; His slaughtered children's lamentable sight The War upon his Bowels doth renew, And makes him die for every one he slew. Heroic Conflicts these! But nobler they In which as oft He with Dis●sters fought As with the Rebels: though his Troops gave way, His gallant Patience ne'er was put to rout. Thus in whatever unsuccessful 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 betrayed by fawning Art, The Spring of Power by wild streams subdued: To scorn proud chance, & hug just truth, although Poor she nought but her naked self can show. Her did he hug in his heart's Cabinet Beyond the reach of fatal Nasebies plunder: Though all his other Holds their copies set, They ne'er could move this Castle to surrender. Yet since the English persecute her so, He means to try 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 Loyalty 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 Royal Sufferer Is thus by freedoms monstrous Patrons tossed. 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 Axe forbears to cut. All else they tear away, not leaving those Whose sacred Office might his Prayers assist. O worst of hellish Barbarism! by whose Black art, unless Charles can be King and Priest, He must be both from his three Kingdoms driven Here upon Earth, and from the fourth in Heaven. But his brave Soul was fortified too well To yield her holy fort of Piety. All else he granteth; yet denieth still To sacrifice the envied Altar: He Holding, what yet he might not use, maintains His Realm of Goodness, and in Carisbrook reigns. He reigns: and though his Foes He could not, yet His nobler Self He conquers; and in high Triumph looks down from Constancies brave seat On the vast Ruins of that Majesty Which lately flourished in full glory on His British and his Irish potent Throne. He curses not, but slights false fortune, and Remembers that three Crowns less Princely are Then Christian resolution, which dares stand The fury even of Reformations War. O glorious Virtue, which could glory spare, And highest gains from deepest losses tear! What though's betrayed Sword appeared too weak To vindicate his Honour? yet his Pen Doth all the Rebels proudest Conquests break; And oh how much more than 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: whilst every Reader there Beholds what miracles of worth did swell The Authors Soul. Nor shall his Murderers dare (Though bloody malice at his life repines) Not to admire and love Him in his lines. But now his Foes worst envy he forestalls, And lives in Heaven 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 sufferings 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 spite down with his blood did flow His pitying prayers: And why should mine, says He More than thy wrongs, dear Lord, revenged be? Surely were Rebels not their own worst Foes; They would permit this royal Saint to live, And pray for their demerits pardon, whose Unhappy hearts were too too dead to strive For life eternal. But alas, it grieves The wretched Members that their Head but lives His holy life their scandal 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 Lion's life-time to divide his skin. Thus through the People-cheating Pageantry Of specious formal Court, and Judge, and Bar, (That He might mocked, as well's oppressed die) He convoyed is to his last Theatre: Where how he acts his Passions part, may they Who to this Martyrdom did bring him, say; Say, Wretches, was Death's bloody face to him So dreadful as the thought of it to you? Of's Sceptre did he e'er so tender seem As of the Axe? taught he not Princes how To reign in death, when he gave straight command Not that his Throne, but Block should firmly stand And wished he not that Block had higher been, That all bloodthirsty 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 served him for his step From earth to heaven's high kingdom to get up. Such power at last has holy patience, that Her deadliest Foes she can compel to be Her greatest Servants, and make every Plot Of spite advance her own felicity. 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 Spread through his Realms: Now atheistick Pride The groundwork of Confusion may lay On prosperous Villainy, and call God in Because he scourges not, to own their sin. The Covenant, and its Independent spawn May now blaspheme with credit, having brought Their seven years holy Work to end, and drawn The Rubric 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 universal Blow Cut down Religions most resolved Stay; Broke the established Pillar of the Law; Dashed out wise Piety, white Continence, Mild Majesty, and generous Temperance. Surely all Conquests conquered are by this, But Pilat's, and the Jew's: Yet they are not In fault, since Christ himself secured is Above the reach of Axe, or Vote, or Scot: And what could they do more or braver now, Then murder Him in's Deputy below, His Deputy, as Lion, 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 hark, what fatal Noise is that which flies On terrors wings, and thunders at the Sky: Poor Bradshaw now his leave in vain denies, For though Charles might not speak, his Blood 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 robbed of here; through all the spheres With valiant Importunity it breaks, And sounds a March to Vengeance: In His ears Who only the true Independent is It pleads against the false Ones Salvagenesse. O desperate Fools! why, why would you compel Such gentle Blood 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 fry Your guilty Souls in Horrors Misery? Fry them it will, if this your Sovereign's Blood Makes you not blush: If on your flaming sin You pour not out a penitential flood; If your most traitorous Axe you feel not in Your humbled Breasts, that there the cursed Wound May upon your own smitten hearts rebound. But when it shall be lawful, not to lie, And safely give sublime Desert its due; When loyal tongues shall not prove Traitors by Th' Allegiance of Praises; when the few Shall be more worth than are the Many; when Truth may have leave to be herself again: Then shall truehearted Muses freely broach Their richest and their most heroic Vein To wait on this Blood's streams, and flow in such A generous and time-defying Strain, That Charles again shall live in state, and prove Immortal somewhere else besides Above. All Nations then amazed shall stand, to see What England had, and needs away would throw: Then to his Worths illustrious History All pious Kings shall strive to School to go: In Wonders Odours then shall noblest Fame Embalm the Glories of His sacred Name.
