bell must toll for them Which rang but now the beggars requiem When such a soule is from the earth bereaven Me thinkes there should be triumphs made in heaven And teares should run at Tilt at his decease To welcome him into a place of Peace Who though he made warre yet did alwayes strive Dying in warre to leave peace still alive Vpon the most puissant and victorious Prince and Souldier Gustavus Adolphus King of Sweden c. T Is sinne to weepe or praise oh let me vent My Passion only in astonishment Who sheds a teare for thee brave Swede thus slaine His eyes doe penance for his weaker braine And yet those eyes themselves deserve this doome Which thus mistake a Trophie for a Tombe Or else Thy foes may weepe as then they dud When as thou dy'dst but all their teares were blood Oh what a tempest what a sea was forc't Of tribute-groanes and teares to waft one ghost No way but death they had to fly thy face Thou quit'dst thy body to pursue the Chase But who pretends thy praise in best expression Endicts his judgement of confest presumption Bold tongue touch not that head that heart that hand Which brought on 's knees when he did tiptoe stand The pride of Austria back'd with all but heaven Himselfe of all but of himselfe bereaven Thus having plum'd th' Imperiall Bird alone Upon those Eagle-wings to heaven he 's flowne Why should he stay on earth The game is done Others can part the stake which he hath wonne T is low ambition underneath his Story To aime at any Crowne but that of glory Then Canon play His bodie 's sacrificed He is not canon'd no Hee 's canonized On the King of Sweden An Elegie IF thou be set in death bright Northerne starre That wert the Cynosure o'th'Germane warre If sublime soule th' hast chose to disappeare In our horizon to informe some spheare For our incredulous hearts would misbeleeve Themselves faine out of griefe they have to grieve And Fame and Fate are tender yet t' addresse A truth so horrid to the world by expresse T was lest thy superstitious legions shou'd Have

ore Their sea-sav'd tribes from Pharian servitude Hee snatch'd that rich dust from the multitude Or wert thou Brave Prince thus subduc'd to shew T was to no thirst of Empire wee should owe Those rare atchievements but to testifie Heaven was thy prize thou mad'st such shift to die Or both to satisfie and yet convince The jealous feares of every rivall Prince That at thy Mounty gaz'd with envious eye Wert thou thus pleas'd un-emperor'd to die For thou hadst else characterd in thy name And deeds Augustus for thy Anagramme And all th'extracted quintessence thy spirit Of all th'heroique Caesars did inherit Only that thirst of purer glory stood Betwixt thy breath and such a publique good So have I seene a Falcon to soare high Lessen her selfe to invisibility The glimpse of this made thee so oft expose Thy penetrable parts to shockes of foes That one would thinke thou heldst intelligence With th' adverse Canon or some Thetis drench Had fortifyed thee Cap a Pee'gainst steele In all but what foe never saw thy heele The sea-sequestring Chiefe whose sceptred Rod Establish'd freedome to the Church of God Had yet his period and from Nebohs toppe Was faine by Prospective to tast that hope He might not live to graspe i' th promis'd Land Whose seizure heaven kept for a Ioshuahs hand So thou Mosaique Prince this faire foundation By thee being laid to unslave the Germane nation Dy'dst though confin'd content Posterity Shall raise a roofe will crowne their liberty Propitious heaven some brawny nerves assigne To give perfection to this high designe Meane time grim death and greedy Destinies Yee were not in some grave opinions wise To snappe his twine that sent you monethly shoales To plie your Stygian barck of war-slaine soules Now that his death hath dull'd Bellonas rage You may goe court Disease or languid Age Or blinde bold Empericks murthering ignorance That quashes more lives then Art can advance To keepe your Ferry custom'd or depend On sinnes and plagues to expedite mans end Since Fates grand factor for mortalitie By your improvidence hath gain'd to die He that allai'd Bavaria's lofty puffe Ruffled and discompos'd the Spanish Ruffe Reduc'd Bohemia the Palatinate Regain'd check'd Colein and gave Mentz the mate Prick'd the swolne tympany o' th' Austrian pride Taught her refluxes to the Catholique tide Enforc'd that oyle of Empire from his brinke Of Vastnesse downe to Reasons Center sink That re-invested truth and liberty In all his visits through faire Germany That tooke-in Cities with his very name And Caesar-like Came Saw and Overcame That having done th' Imperiall office sav'd Religion yet th' Imperiall wages wav'd With the petard of whose Authentique word All ports flew ope upon whose lightning sword Sate wing-clip'd Victory who in sterne fight Wonne with his pike more then his pen can write The fount of indeficient Stratagems Th' Assertor of inthralled Diadems That knew no quarrell but the publique right Whose valour forc'd all fortitude to flight That rush'd through danger as if none were neere When nothing else was nigh fear'd onely feare Who though he could not daunce the Brawles yet in His compleat steele could tread a Matachin And without Mimmick complements or Cringes Had th' active Rhetoricke that turn'd the hinges Of all the grand designes of Christendome And th' art or to convert or conquer Rome That like the Danuby rising but a spanne Grew boundlesse as his Baltique Ocean And by fine force no Sinons slye surprise Got Alexander-like faire victories That like the Sunne which from his early East Gallops in twelve houres progresse to the West In eight moneths as his historie reports Conquer'd his eighty Cities Castles Forts That humble at his rise knowing how nigh Supremacy borders on tyranny Yet Phaebus-like concentred at his set His beames to cleare with glory Natures debt That had the skill so rarely to combine Sweetnesse with strictnesse in his discipline That what the rigid Captaine could not bring To bow crept to the milde Majestique King And yet how oft hath he the King declin'd To unscrue a Centinells or Perdues minde That par'd those Vultur-talons and that beake R'envers'd that under Ioves bird joy'd to wreake Their bloody teene on the recrescent breast O'th'publike weale for private interest And skie-borne Perseus from the ravenous jaw Of Fridland freed th'enchain'd Andromeda Hee he is slaine and yet the stupid world Is not with him backe to her Chaos hurld For staulking Eulogies and talking tombes Are Popular incense such as Fortunes groomes Are sacred with and now each Burgers herse Yawnes for her hachments and her teares in verse And shall He have no more He whose
