funerary monument AN ELEGY , Consecrated to the inestimable MEMORY of our late most Famous MONARCH , CHARLES the First , by the Grace of God , King of England , Scotland , France , and Ireland ; who was Beheaded on Tuesday , Jan. 30. 1648. Together with the manifold Miseries and Calamities that since have lamentably afflicted these Three Nations , and the MEANS now left to procure a speedy , and a safe Redress . WEep , ENGLAND , weep ; help all to raise our Cry , Here ENGLANDS Glory , and her Shame doth lye ! Who Innocent was to the Scaffold lead , And low as Death stoop'd his Anointed Head : Who did a willing Sacrifice become , To expiate those procur'd his Martyrdome . And by rude Hands being brought upon the Stage , Lost his own Life to please the Peoples Rage : So loud his Vertues do his Praises sing , As if not onely he had been the King Of England , Scotland , Ireland , and of France , But King of Prudence , Justice , Temperance , And noble Fortitude : and thus had more Crowns , then all Kings of Europe had before . And though i' th Dayes of his Serener Reign , We did not so much suffer , as complain : Yet since his Death we feel the Times far rougher , And still the more we plain , the more we suffer . So much we suffer , we have seen of late Religion run to Ruine with the State : That Sleeves of Lawn may now in pity stand , To wipe the Blood off from Religion's hand . We Superstition fear'd , when all in haste , Profaneness enter'd , and laid all things waste : And Schisme of no Religion now admits But what the Feaver of her Fancy fits . Thou didst not dye alone , Great CHARES , thy Fate , Involv'd Three Kingdoms , and the Churches State ; That now without a Shepheard we do stray , And are to every Wolf become a prey : Nor is there Hope of any sound Redress , ( So desperate are all our Griefs ) unless Heav'n shall be pleas'd , our Shepheard being gone , To send soon to us our dear Shepheards Son .
