Lands that for her absence mourne With sighes and teares doe wish her backe returne They finde in loosing Her they lost a blisse A hundred Townes in France can witnesse this Where Warres compulsion or else composition Did force Obedience Bondage or Submission Fields lay vntild and fruitfull Land lay wast And this was scarcely yet full three yeares past Where these vnciuill ciuill Warres destroy'd Princes Lords Captaines men of Note imploy'd One hundred sixty seauen in number all And Common people did past number fall These wretches wearied with these home-bred Iarres Loue Peace for being beaten sore with Warres Nor doe I here inueigh against just Armes But ' gainst vniust vnaturall Alarmes Iust Warres are made to make vniust Warres cease And in this sort Warres are the meanes of Peace In all which unmoyles Brutaine was at rest No thund●ing Cannons did our Peace molest No chu●●●●● Drum no Rapes no slaught●ing wounds No Trumpets clangor to the Battaile sounds But euery Subiect here enioy'd his owne And did securely Reape what they had Sowne Each man beneath his Fig-tree and his Vine In Peace with plenty did both Suppe and Dine O GOD how much thy Goodnesse doth or'eflow Thou hast not dealt with other Nations so And all these blessings which from Heauen did spring Were by our Soueraignes wisdomes managing Gods Steward both in Office and in Name And his account was euermore his aime The thought from out his minde did seldome slippe That once he must giue vp his Steward-shippe His Anger written on weake water was His P●tience and his Loue were grau'd in Brasse His Fury like a wandring Starre soone gone His Clemency was like a fixed one So that as many lou'd him whilst he liu'd More then so many by his Death are grieu'd The hand of Heauen was onely his support And blest him in the Nobles of his Court To whom his Bounty was exprest so Royall That he these twenty yeares found none disloyall But as bright Iewels of his Diadem They faithfully seru'd him he honour'd them And as in life they were on him relying So many of them vshered him in dying Richmands and Linox Duke first led the way N●xt Dorsets spirit forsooke hir house of Clay Then Linox Duke againe Duke L●dwicks Brother Was third and good Southampton fourth another Lord Wri●thsly next Southamptons Noble Sonne The race of his mortality did runne Next dyde olde Charles true honour'd Nottingham The Brooche and honour of his House and Name Braue Belfast next his vitall thr●ed was spunne And last the Noble Marquesse Hambleton These in the compasse of one yeare went hence And lead the way to their beloued Prince And our deceased Soueraigne quickly went To change Earths Pompe for glory permanent Like Phoebus in his Course h'aroase and ran His Raigne in March both ended and began And as if he had bin a Star that 's fixt His Rise and Set were but two dayes betwixt And once in two and twenty yeares 't is prou'd T●at the most fixed Starres are something mou'd But in his end his Constancy we finde He had no mutable or wauering minde For that Religion which his tongue and pen Did still defend with God maintaine with men That Faith which in his Life he did expresse He in his Death did constantly professe His Treasure and his Iewels they were such As I thinke Englands Kings had ne're so much And still to men of honour and desert His Coffers were as open as his heart Peace Patience Iustice Mercie Pietie These were his Iewels in variety His Treasure alwaies was his Subiects Loue Which they still gaue him as th' effects did proue Which like to Earths contributary streames Payde homage to their Soueraigne Ocean Iames He knew that Princes Treasure to be best That 's layde vp in the loyall Subjects brest And onely 't was the Riches of the minde To which he couetously was inclinde Thus was he blest in Person blest in State Blest in his first and in his Latter date Blest in his education blest in 's learning Blest in his Wisedome Good and Ill discerning Blest in his Marriage and in his royall Race But blessed most of all in Gods high Grace He did his God deuoutely serue and feare He lou'd him and his loue he held most deare He honour'd and obayde him faithfully He in his fauour liu'd and so did dye His duty vnto God he knew the way And meanes to make his Subiects him obey He knew that if he seru'd his God that then He should be seru'd and fear'd and lou'd of Men And that if he Gods Statutes did respect That Men would feare his Statutes to neglect Thus his Obedience vpward did bring downe Obedience to his Person and his Crowne He did aduaunce the good supprest the bad Relieu'd the poore and comforted the sad The widow and the orphant fatherlesse He often hath suppli'd in their distresse For why to rich and poore to great and small He was a common Father vnto all His affabilitie and Princely partes Made him a mighty Conquerour of Hartes Offenders whom the law of life depriues His Mercie pardon'd and preseru'd their liues To prisoners and poore captiues miserie He was a Magazine of charitie For losses that by sea or fire did come He hath bestowed many a liberall summe Besides for Churches it most plaine appeares That more hath bin repair'd in twentie yeares In honour of our God and Sauiours name Then in an hundred yeares before he came Our ancient famous Vniuersities Diuine and Humane learnings Nurseries Such dewes of Grace as the Almighties will Was pleased through those Limbecks to distill Which spight of Romish rage or Sathans hate Hath caus'd the glorious gospell propogate Our light of learning IAMES did still protect them And as a nursing Father did affect them Thus was He for our soules and bodies health Defender of both Church and Common-wealth For Ireland he hath much reduc'd that nation Churches with Land endowed caus'd much plātation Whereby Ciuility is planted there The Kings Obedience and th' Almigties Feare These Deedes this worthy godly Prince hath done For which he hath perpetuall praises wonne Ah! what a gracious Man of God was this Mercy and Iustice did each other kisse His Affability whilst he did liue Did make all Men themselues to him to giue Thus liu'd Great IAMES and thus Great IAMES did dye And dying thus doth liue Eternally With Honour he did liue and Life forsooke With Patience like a Lambe his Death he tooke And leauing Kingly cares Princely paine He now inherits an Immortall Raigne For royal grieu'd perplexed Maiestie He hath a Crowne of perpetuitie For miserable Pompe that 's transitory He is aduanc'd to euerlasting glory And as he lou'd and liu'd and dyde in Peace So he in Peace did quietly decease So let him rest in that most blest condition That 's subiect to no change or intermission Whilst we his Seruants of him thus bereft With grieued and perplexed hearts are left But God in mercy looking on our griefe Before he gaue the wound ordain'd reliefe Though duteous Sorrow bids vs not forget This clowde of Death wherein our Sunne did set His Sonnes resplendent Maiestie did rise Loadstone and Loadstarre to our hearts and eyes He cheeres our drooping spirits he frees our feares And like the Sunne dryes vp our dewie Teares All those his seruants that lamenting Grieue King Charles his Grace and fauour doth Releeue But as they seru'd his Father so he will Be their most louing Lord and Soueraigne still As they were first to their Master liuing being dead They are releeued and recomforted Thus Charitie doth in succession runne A Pious Father leaues a Godly Sonne Which Sonne his Kingly Gouernment shall passe His Kingdomes Father as his Father was For though Great Iames inter'd in earth doth lye Great Charles his breast intombes his memorye And heer 's our comforts midst our discontents Hee 's season'd with his Fathers Documents And as th' Almighty was his sheild and speare Protecting him from danger euery where From most vnnaturall foule Conspiracie From Powder plots and hellish Treacherie Whilst he both liu'd and dyde belou'd Renound And Treason did it selfe it selfe confound So I inuoke th' Eternall Prouidence To be to Charles a Buckler and defence Supported onely by the Power Diuine As long as Sunne or Moone or Starres shall shine To all that haue Read this Poeme I Boast not but his Maiestie that 's dead Was many times well pleasd my lines to read And euery line word syllable and letter Were by his reading graced and made better And howsoeuer they were good or ill His Bounty shewed he did accept them still Hee was so good and gracious vnto me That I the vilest wretch on earth should be If for his sake I had not writ this verse My last poore dutie to his Royall Hearse Two causes made me this sad Poeme write The first my humble dutie did inuite The last to shunne that vice which doth include All other vices foule ingratitude FINIS
