LOYALTIES TEARS FLOWING AFTER THE BLOUD OF THE ROYALL SUFFERER CHARLES I. c. ENGLANDS Glory and Shame BY J. B. Dabit Indignatio versum Anno Dom. 1649. LOYALTIES TEARS Flowing after the Blood of the ROYALL SUFFERER CHARLES the I. c. Dabit Indignatio versum BLood and a Kings and such a Kings and that Not shed by Tigres or by Dragons Laws But Christian humble Subjects Zeal O blot Out those faint words which on the Teeth and Paws Of Barbarisme were grav'd and in this Nation For Salvagenesse's Names write Reformation Come come Amazement and attend this Day Which lets the Powers of night and darknesse loose Which Capital enacts it not to say I justifie my Justice-trampling Foes Which writes a Law and that in Royal Bloud That 't is in England Treason to be Good A Day which damns it as a deadly Crime To be a King A Day in which the stain Of murderous cruelty those poure on him Who strove their butchering furie to restrain Making that Prince a Tyrant who denies His Subjects but his leave to Tyrannize A Day in which the sacred Head offends Because he stoops not to the kicking feet In which Laws Basis all Laws structure rends By not subverting his own Judgement Seat In which it must be grand Impietie Resolv'd Defender of the Faith to be O heav'nly-guilty Charles how blessed were Those Crimes of His but how unblessed We Who now so bloudily released are From the dear Yoke of such sweet tyrannie A tyranny which nobly doth oppresse The Liberties of none but wickednesse When wealth grown common spoil'd the Common-wealth By her too full fed Daughter wanton Pride And fretfull Schisme having by wise stealth Inveigled Numbers Power to her side Secur'd the Pulpit-garrisons and well By Vse and Doctrine arm'd the word Rebell When slander first had robb'd him of his Reason And from his Counsel Armies sought to bring him When by bold cannons mouths more brasen treason Learn'd to Petition and when to Un-king him Was judg'd the onely way to make him be A glorious Monarch Then then straitned He Enter'd his widest lists of Virtue where His looks on kindest fortune did display His holy bravery by which he ne'r Without a sigh beheld his bloudy Bay But sadly ponder'd how he was constrained To loose his Subjects when the field he gained So when a tender Father forc'd to shield Against rebellious Sonnes his sacred Right By dear successe obtains a bloudy field His slaughter'd Childrens lamentable sight The Warre upon his Bowels doth renew And makes him die for every one he slew Heroick Conflicts these But nobler they In which as oft He with Dis●sters fought As with the Rebels though his Troups gave way His gallant Patience ne'r was put to rout Thus in whatever unsuccessfull field He lost his Armies still his Strength he held Strength strength it is with an undaunted heart To see Right beaten Innocence pursued Integrity betray'd by fawning Art The Spring of Power by wild streams subdued To scorn proud chance hug just truth although Poore she nought but her naked self can show Her did he hug in his hearts Cabinet Beyond the reach of fatall Nasebies plunder Though all his other Holds their copies set They ne'r could move this Castle to surrender Yet since the English persecute her so He means to trie what Scots for Truth will do Unhappy Scots who now blush not to be False unto Truth who teach the World what price They set on Kings who put their Loyaltie Into their purse who to their Avarice And fellow Rebels their great Master sell That Judas might not want a Parallel From Jail to Jail the Royall Sufferer Is thus by freedoms monstrous Patrons tost Nor may his dearest Queen or Children bear His Desolation company the most Favour his Subjects grant him is that yet Him from Himself the Ax forbears to cut All else they tear away not leaving those Whose sacred Office might his Prayers assist O worst of hellish Barbarisme by whose Black art unlesse Charles can be King and Priest He must be both from his three Kingdom● driven Here upon Earth and from the fourth in Heaven But his brave Soul was fortifi'd too well To yield her holy fort of Pietie All else he granteth yet denieth still To sacrifice the envied Altar He Holding what yet he might not use maintains His Realm of Goodnesse and in Carisbrook reigns He reigns and though his Foes He could not yet His nobler Self He conquers and ih high Triumph looks down from Constancies brave seat On the vast Ruins of that Majestie Which lately flourish'd in full glory on His British and his Irish potent Throne He curses not but slights false fortune and Remembers that three Crowns lesse Princely are Then Christian resolution which dares stand The furie ev'n of Reformations Warre O glorious Virtue which could glory spare And highest gains from deepest losses tear What though's betrayed Sword appear'd too weak To vindicate his Honour yet his Pen Doth all the Rebels proudest Conquests break And oh how much more then his Britain win For all the world now bows down to the look Of his illustrious most triumphant Book That Book on which astonishment must dwell For evermore whil'st every Reader there Beholds what miracles of worth did swell The Authours Soul Nor shall his Murderers dare Though bloudy malice at his life repines Not to admire and love Him in his lines But now his Foes worst envie he forestalls And lives in Heav'n before they force him thither For up He climbs when on his knees He falls And by his Meditations together With Saints and Angels doth adore that God Whose noble path of suffrings here he trod Him he adores and to his mercy sues In their behalf who none to Him would show He sweetly minds Him of those barbarous Jews Upon whose spight down with his bloud did flow His pitying pray'rs And why should mine saies He More then thy wrongs dear Lord revenged be Surely were Rebels not their own worst Foes They would permit this royall Saint to live And pray for their demerits pardon whose Unhappy hearts were too too dead to strive For life eternall But alas it grieves The wretched Members that their Head but lives His holy life their scandall is and He Is so unsufferably good that they No such example can endure to be A check to their own guilt Besides no way They had with free and safe convenience in The Lyons life-time to divide his skin Thus through the People-cheating Pageantry Of specious formall Court and Judge and Barre That He might mock'd as well's oppressed die He convoy'd is to his last Theatre Where how he acts his Passions part may they Who to this Martyrdome did bring him say Say Wretches was Deaths bloudy face to him So dreadfull as the thought of it to you Of 's Scepter did he e'r so tender seem As of the Ax taught he not Princes how To reigne in death when
