SAd News by th' Post, from Albion, doth me call,  
To know what mighty Planet there did fall  
So lately down, that all the people were  
In darkness, till another placed there.  
Some say 'twas Mars, or some such Ruling star;  
For they had ne'er his like, to manage War:  
Some say 'twas Jupiter; for such was He,  
A Juvans Pater to the Nations three.  
Planets (we know) do govern Countries, Men,  
And other things below; but God rules them:  
So here, this Planet ruled, with awe, and love,  
Being always ruled himself by God above.  
Our grief for Him, and joy for his Successor,  
We know not which was greater, nor which lesser.   

When War was at the height of tears and blood,  
The LORD sent OLIVER the Great, and Good,  
Who proved our Olive-branch, and Peace he got  
To all in time, but those that loved it not:  
Most fit PROTECTOR was he then to be,  
To keep that Peace he gained the Nations three.  
Not resting here, but better to secure  
Our Peace at home, abroad he did procure  
A Peace with all our Neighbour-Nations, and  
With honour much to him, and to our Land.  
Then martially did he so act abroad,  
He whipped the Spaniard with an English rod;  
So that the Popish Don's in several parts  
Do tremble in their Kingdoms, and their hearts.   

What Plots with vain attempts were 'gainst our Land!  
Yet God did prosper all he took in hand;  
And he preserved by Grace, until become  
The worthiest Worthy of all Christendom:  
Then Europe's Corner-pillar being grown fit  
For heaven's throne, was summoned there to sit;  
Who (as in life his precepts were t'obey)  
Being called (too soon for us) he went his way.   

But here's another Post: What news, my Friend?  
Is Albion's HERO dead, as some pretend?  
He is not dead; nor can he die, whose Fame  
Will ever live in honour, and his Name  
So great in Albion, that S. George hath been  
Forgotten there, till on a signpost seen:  
S. David'n Wales, and Andrew for the Scot,  
Were ne'er so great as was this Patriot.  
S. Patrick was for Ireland renowned,  
And France for glory have S. Dennis crowned;  
Th' Italian Anthony, and James for Spain,  
Did ne'er for them, as He for us did gain:  
The Dutch-man's Champion that did Trump about,  
And for the ninth take in Gustavus stout;  
Yet read them all together in true story,  
You'll find them short of Oliver his glory:  
So that his Enemies can say no less,  
He was a Cato, and an Hercules:  
His Wisdom, Courage, ruled our Commonwealth,  
And yet took little glory to himself,  
But gave it where 'twas due; and so should we  
Give thanks to God for him eternally.  
Yet greater was his good; He did provide  
That we should not be left without a Guide;  
But after him find settled here we see  
The primest Branch of that fair Olive-tree:  
Whose noble virtues fill our expectations,  
He'll be a second Glory of our Nations;  
As by the Anagrams of both we see  
What was the one, the other like to be.   

Grieve not in vain then, but rejoice the rather  
For such a Son succeeding such a Father.  
Long live brave Richard then! Your help being such,  
The LORD takes Care You may by him Rule much.  
As by this Anagram: Richard Cromwell— Lord care, I rule much.  
Vivat, videat, vireat & vincat RIC. Pr. semper.
