ELEGY On the Death of Her Highness MARY Princess Dowager of Aurange , DAUGHTER TO CHARLES the First , King of England , Scotland , France and Ireland , &c. HAil Graceful MARY ! Summon'd up to be , A Member-Saint o th' Heavenly Hierarchie ! For since Your Virgin-Name-Sake's Peer'd with You , Our Ave-Maries must be Doubled too . What Zeal of Glory did Your Highness Move , To rob Low-Countries , to Enrich th' Above ? Or was it in a Complement You fell , To leave HENRIETTA 'thout a Parallel ? Was 't not Enough , that Glouc'ster's Shining Star Shrunk the Payr-Royal , to a Royal Payr ? And as Ambassadour ( to fit Your State ) Prepar'd Your Ways , knowing the Path was strait ? But must ( O Times ! ) more Royal Blood be spilt , To make Attonement , for a Kingdom's Guilt ? Curst be that * * Tenero sedet in Ore Lues . Si , tàm pracipiti , fuerant Ventura , Volatu , Debuerant aliâ , Fata , Venire Viâ . Bane of Greatness ! A Disease That Scandals Galen and Hippocrates ! So lothsome too , the Soul would hardly own The Body at the Resurrection ! Thus the Lamb Suffers , while the Fox still thrives : Heavens Kingdome 's near ; 'T is time t' Amend our Lives . 'T is for the Nations Sins , a Punishment On Princes falls . They 'd Live if Wee 'd Repent : Here let our Souls , flow from our Eyes in Tears ! Like Those , Whose Hopes , are Master'd by their Fears ! Another Branch , lop't from the Royal Tree , And shall the Shrubs remain Secure and Free ? Oh! if our Earthly Gods , like Men , must lye , How , like the Beasts that perish , shall Vassals Dye ? All Things Immortal , in this Lady were But meer Mortality , and That lies Here ! Whose Goodness needs no Gloss to set it off , Say but — 'T was Charls his Daughter — That 's Enough . Oh may Her Son like Her , live to inherit The Mothers Virtues and the Fathers Spirit ! Then will Heaven bless its Blessing with that Good Which cannot be Express'd , less Understood . The Wonder of Her Sex ! less Great , then Good : Honouring Her Name , Ennobled by Her Blood ! The Ages Ioy and Grief ! Envy and Prìde ! You could not think Her Mortal , till She Dy'd . In brief , be this Inscrib'd upon Her Tombe , HERE LIES THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTENDOME ! But — Cease to Mourn ! — A Princess never Dyes ; But , like the Sun , does only Set to Rise . HEN. BOLD . Olim è N. C. Oxon.
