And want a mourner at his funeral!
TO THE
NEW-BORNE PRINCE,
AFTERWARDS CHARLES II.
(Born May 29th[77], 1630; died 6th of February, 1684-5.)
UPON THE APPARITION OF A STARR, AND THE FOLLOWING ECCLYPSE.
Was heav’ne afray’d to be out-done on earth
When thou wert borne, great prince, that it brought forth
Another light to helpe the aged sunn,
Lest by thy luster he might be out-shone?
Or were th’ obsequious starres so joy’d to view
