In Memoriam Thomae Rainsbrough , Pro Populo , & Parliamento , Chiliarchae Fortissimi . The Epitaph or Engravement on the Tombstone . HE that made King , Lords , Commons , Judges shake , Cities and Committees quake ; He that sought nought but His dear Countries good , And seald their Right with His last blood ; RAINSBROUGH , The Just , the Valiant , and True , Here bids the Noble Levellers Adiew .
The Enlargement upon the Epitaph dedicated to all His Friends ; in Parliament ; Army , City , and Country . SOund sound a Call with speed , beat loud the Drum , Back from the North brave RAINSBROUGH is come A butcher'd martyr'd Saint , whose gallant Hand Aw'd once the Sea , and twice hath aw'd the Land . Let Justice mourn , and Freedom ring his Knell , For in their Quarrel , he both fought and fell : Basely betray'd He fell ; ten times through 's brest ( Unarm'd , unwarn'd ) the Coward 's sword was thrust . Drag'd from his bed , nor friend , nor weapon nigh him ; Twenty to one , with hacks and thrusts they ply him . Lend , lend a sword he cries ; will none ? then I With naked Arms , the armed dogs defie : Nor would He yeeld , till in the street he dyes , With twice ten wounds , the Armies Sacrifice . Never in Field yet beat ; nay whilest that breath Gave limbs he stood , a Victor at his death : Up then , brave souls born for your Countries Good : Mount him to 's Grave , and next avenge his Blood . For though intomb'd with honor RAINSBROUGH lies , To you his blood for Satisfaction cries . Now Cholmly laugh , and ye Malignants grin : Yet know , from hence your Reckoning must begin .
