So
Great! so Universal, and so Free!
This was too much (Great CHARLES) except for Thee,
For any King to grant, or Subjects hope:
Like Thee to do thus, would undo the Pope.
Yea, though his Vassals should their Wealth combine
To buy Indulgence half so large as Thine:
No, if they should not only kiss his Toe,
But Clement Podex, He'd not let them goe.
Whilst Thou to His Shame, Thy immortal Glory,
Hast freed All Souls from real Purgatory;
And giv'n All Saints in Heav'n new joys, to see
Their Friends in England keep a Jubilee.
