A Funerall Monument or the manner of the Herse of the most Renowned Robert Devereux Earl of Essex and Ewe Viscount Hereford L.

VVith a briefe Recitement of his valour and fidelity in the Kingdomes just Cause against the Enemies of Religion Parliament and Kingdome whose Funerall is to be solemnized on Tuesday the 13. of October 1646. ENgland's great Essex Death hath snatcht away That faithfull friend in her distressed day London thou know'st with what a willing mind This Peere adventur'd when thy men did find Such rare encouragements from their Generall With resolutions being inflamed all To live and die with Him they all were bent In maint'nance of just Lawes and Parliament What hardships He indured for thy good Nothing too deare he thought for England stood Opposing those unnaturall home-bred Foes That unto ruine did themselves expose Let Worcesters faithfull sons now him bewaile That did relieve them when their help did faile Let adverse Enemies sound Fidelity At Edge-Hill Battell where undauntedly This Generall did appeare in dangers great Adventuring to give the foes defeat Reading Cirencester thy Acts let sound And Glocesters tydings when reliefe was found By means of this thy Friend whom now lament In thy most sad distresse thus did attempt And you that know the gain at Newbery Seeing this Generall how undauntedly He then encourag'd you for Englands right When Royall Forces fled he stood the Fight Croyland and Barnstaple shall sound his praise That gain'd them liberty in inthralled dayes Mount Stamford Plympton Saltash Launceston And Greenvile-house proclaime his praise each one With many other whose laborious paine Most noble Essex valiantly did regaine Whom though by times untimely stroake deceast His fame still lives that enemies decreast And now to you unthankfull hearts a while I shall addresse me you that durst revile And mutter out whilest basely you neglect Your duties you do owe with great respect At first how many prayers did ascend From thousands that did afterwards offend In murmuring at all Gods dispensation Forgetfull of this Isles abomination This this O England hath prolong'd thy warre With great unthankfulnesse of which beware And now Malignants by your base expression Full often utter'd 'gainst this worthy Champion Fearlesse of death that durst look death i' th face When your stout friends have fled to their disgrace Goe search the Records of the Warres progresse And then constrain'd you all can say no lesse By might or Majesty who prosper shall When as injustice is the cause of all That opposition which thus long hath dur'd And at the last perpetuall shame procur'd This sin cries loud and vengeance is not farre From you that thus procured Englands Warre Which hath been mannag'd by your contribution This you 'l lament before your dissolution Take timely warning therefore and repent For this reviling of the Excellent Though he be gone to his appointed place Your sinnes remaine that have sought his disgrace And therefore now to mourn for Englands losse Add somthing towards it by that sins remorse But now to that which is my chiefe intent To you I meane that really lament This trusty friend to England in distresse Do you bewaile for I can do no lesse What great advantage did he stand upon When freely for this bleeding Nation He offered up himselfe to lead on those That did the proudest enemie oppose Should you forget those great Returnes of prayer Which by this Instrument accomplisht were The stones would utter out your base neglect And this great sin would sadly back reflect With what rejoycing in your saddest dayes Did you erect loud songs of thankfull praise To God that in so many great attempts Preserved and regarded Innocents Expos'd in battell shrill wherein there fell Full often many that did first rebell Yet God the Lord of Hoasts did still appeare To guard his servants that did truly feare Your trust committed to this Generall Whose losse we now lament and let tears fall Let them dissolve themselves into a flood For losse of him that hazzarded his blood Full oft in Field against the trecherous Wilfully bent to ruine him and us Since tall Oakes deeply rooted do begin To fall be warned let not murmuring Remove more Oakes that yet unmoved stood In great combustious stormes for all our good This noble Champion like an unmov'd rock In battell that adventur'd many a shock Amidst the Forces fearlesse where grim death Gave way to him yet now hath catcht his breath Since teares are small expressions for this losse That calls for flouds fit to expresse remorse The master-peece of friendship now discover Rais'd up with sense of losse bedew'd all over With dolefull Ditties now let freely fall Those fit expressions for this Funerall Whose fame now stands Acts Chronologicall Perpetuall his fame to after-ages shall Sound out in praise his trust that faithfully Discharg'd whom now thus most solemnly We celebrate most worthy great desert And justly as becomes with sadded heart Love to his Countrey and Religions Cause Now He 's dissolv'd speaks lowd against all those That were not mov'd with such consideration But in distresse were helplesse to this Nation Essex was constant free from that great sin And thus unmoved liv'd and di'd therein VVith King Countrey both and Commonweale Our noble Essex faithfully did deale Noble Devereux sadly's bid Adieu And much lamented for as 't is our due The Parliament hath now receiv'd a losse This noble Peere is gone their number 's lesse London hath also lost a precious friend VVhom none but death could put unto an end He 's worth lamenting for that at her need Unto poore England was a friend indeed Then shall a Kingdome and a Parliament Shall great and good men for this losse lament Shall rich and poore bemoane this Sable Herse And shall not thou and I bedeaw the Verse That speaks out cause sufficient to bemoane This losse of him before us that is gone Death being arm'd hath cut down such an Oake Prepare to meet and so prevent his stroake From earth great Essex Englands Generall Hath led the way that we must follow all Printed for J. Hancock in Popes-head Alley 1646.
