OF THE NAME OF CHAROLUS, BEING THE DIMINATIVE OF CHARUS.

The name of Charles, darlinge signifies:
A name most fitte, for hee was ever such.
Neuer was Prince soe deare in all mens eyes,
Soe highly valued or esteemd soe much:
Edgar was England's darlinge, once wee find,
But Charles the Darlinge is of all mankind.
