Eleg. 19.
[Again, when one had forc'd unto mine eare]
Again, when one had forc'd unto mine eareMy Prince was dead; although he much protested,
I could not with beliefe his sad news heare,
But would have sworn and sworn again he jested.
At such a word, me thought, the town should sink,
The earth should down unto the Center cleave,
Devouring all in her hell-gaping chink,
And not so much as Sea or Iland leave.
Some Comet, or some monstrous blazing Starre
Should have appear'd, or some strange Prodigie,
Death might have shown't us, though't had bin afar
That he intended some such tyranny.
296
To shew that he will on a sudden strike.
