AN EPITAPH . WIthin this sacred VAULT doth lie The Quintessence of MAjESTIE ; Which being Set , more Glorious shines , The Best of KINGS , best of Divines ; Britains shame , and Britains glory , Mirrour of Princes , complete Story Of ROYALTY ; One so exact That th' Elixirs of Praise detract : These are faint Shadows ; But t' endure , Hee 's drawn toth ' Life in 's POVRTRACTVRE : If such another PIECE you 'ld see , Angels must Limn ít out , or HEE ; Where Wisdom , Grace , and Eloquence , Are Centred in their Eminence . Martyr'd HEE was to save His Lawes , Religion , People , from the Jawes Of ASSASINES ; whose weale HEE sought , Even then when they His MURDER wrought With horrid Plots , that HEADLESS He ( And in HIM Church and State ) might be . Then since Correlatives They were , Three Kingdoms in One KING lies here . A. B.
