"A Pindarick Ode on the Death of Charles II, by J. H."
"Ireland's Tears to the sacred Memory of our late Dread Sovereign, King Charles II., 11th April, 1685."
"Pietas universitatis Oxoniensis in obitum augustissimi et desideratissimi Regis Caroli Secundi."
Duke, and others, also invoked Melpomene on this mournful occasion: but, perhaps, the most remarkable of all these lamentations is, "The Quaker's Elegy on the Death of Charles, late King of England, written by W. P. a sincere lover of Charles and James; (31st March, 1685.)" "Tears wiped off, a Second Part, on the Coronation, (22d April.)" This curious dirge begins thus:
What wondrous change in waking do I find,
For a strange something does my sense unbind;
Truth has possessed my darkened soul all o'er
With an unusual light, not known before;
And doth inform me, that some star is gone,
From whose kind influence we had life alone.
