Hee'l find thee King, and Priest, and Prophet too;

And sadly see our losse, and though in vain,

With fruitlesse wishes, call thee back again.

Nor shall oblivion sit upon thy herse,

Though there were neither monument, nor verse.

Thy suff'rings and thy death let no man name;

It was thy Glorie, but the kingdom's shame.

(From the Eikon Basilike, printed A.D. 1648.)
