Epig. 28. On the death of Mary Queen of Scots.
The doome of Judges fore appointed,Racking the Law beyond all reason
To death condemn'd a Queen anointed,
Without allegiance finding Treason:
55
Shun'd to cut off a head once crown'd,
The Hangman lost his Resolution,
To kill a Queen so much renound:
Remorse in hangmen, and in steele,
Yet Judges no remorse to feele?
O henceforth may there ne're be seen
By English eyes, a headlesse Queen.
