Upon the Death of His Late Highness , OLIVER LORD PROTECTOR OF THE COMMON-WEALTH OF England , Scotland and Ireland , and the Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging . AN ELEGIE . AS ( sometime ) fals the lofty Cedar down , And knocks the Earth with his Cloud-neighbor Crown ; Or those tall Elms , which by a fatal Gust Late forc'd , their Stations left , and kist the dust ; Presaging sure ( as at Romes Founders Fate Th' Eclipse and Storm ) a Breach upon this State , Too soon ( alas ! ) fulfill'd : So fell this Prince , Great , as Virtue's or Valor 's Excellence Could form an Heroe ; whose successes fill'd The world with Terror ; whose Exploits excell'd Those Chiefs of Greece and Rome , and spake a fame Of lowder accents then Gustavus name ; Whose Fortunes such , his Foes as well might stem The current of the Baltique Sea , as them ; Whose Victories taught Civil wars to cease , And laid three Nations in the armes of Peace ; Who those high mighty States , that by the sword Redeem'd their Freedom from their Spanish Lord , Ev'n in their height , subdu'd , and made them loer Their tattred Topsails to his English power : Proud Romes idol'trous Son his Enlsigns next A stonied , and in his bosome vext ; Witness those Cacus-dens ( rich by the harms Of England ) won by his Herculean Armes : But Heav'n decreed that Conquest , so begun , Should finish'd be by His Illustrious Son . For now , to teach Earths Potentates , that Fate Will ride triumphant in the Palace gate ; ( Stern and impartial Fate ! ) whose strict Commands Not Virtue , wall'd with Arts and Armes , withstands ; This meager Serjeant comes to act his part , Arrests his Life , and stabs his gen'rous heart ; Who by resignment of his dearest Breath Proclaims aloud th' authority of Death . That day which twice his Victor-brows with Bayes , Had crowned , crowns now th' period of his dayes : That signal day which twice renowns his story , Now the third time consummates his Glory . The Heav'ns seem'd hung with black , grief Vail'd the world , Tears delug'd Earth , the Globe fear'd to be hurld Back to its Chaos load , Confusion stood A tiptoe , threatning a fresh Sea of Blood ; The broaken Roof presag'd the Fabricks fall , And mighty ruine laid a claim to all . But ( sacred Providence ! ) there did appear A morning Sun , to gild our Hemisphere With new and vigorous Light , to cleer the skies , Dispel those clouds of Fear , and dry our eyes ? Wise Joshua arose in Moses steed , Elisha here Elijah did succeed . Thus warlike David gaind the Hebrew Crown , And for Successor left a Solomon . Mira cano : Sol occubuit , Nox nulla secuta est . T. Mayhew .
