That was the onely glory of the wood;

Great Charles, thou earthly God, celestial man,

Whose life, like others, though it were a span;

Yet in that span, was comprehended more

Than earth hath waters, or the ocean shore;

Thy heavenly virtues, angels should rehearse,

It is a theam too high for humane verse:

Hee that would know thee right, then let him look

Upon thy rare-incomparable book,

And read it or'e; which if he do,
