To the Memory of KING CHARLES the First.
Bless'd Saint, Great King, and constant Martyr, IPay my small Mite here, to thy Memory.
Yet these three Nations cannot all pay home,
The Summe that's due, Engraven on thy Tomb.
Yet hope thy Blood, ah Blood! (was guiltless shed)
No Vengeance cryes, but our Sin pardoned.
Impute it not for boldness then, that I
Could wish thy Life to live, thy Death to die.
