On the Death of that GRAND IMPOSTOR OLIVER CROMWELL , Who died September the 3. 1658. SO let him die ? so to his Grave be sent ? And as his life , his death prov'd turbulent : In such loud Tempests let him end his days , As Witches their accurs'd Familiars raise . The Divel in a dreadfull Hericane Approches thus the trembling Indian Those happy storms , how highly should we prize Had they but sooner sung his Exequies , E're he had perfected that black Design , Which to this day brands the first Cataline , And stopt those lowder cries of bloud that call For Curses , to attend his Funeral . The tracing of those sanguine paths he trod Made Atila be styl'd , The Scourge of God . Well made this Scarlet Hypocrite his boast , Not in the Prince of Peace , but * * His usual expression Lord of Hoast Though to rejoice in numbers of ‖ ‖ Dunbar and Worcester . Men slaine Suits not with * * Termed so by his owne gang . David , but with Tamberlain . Yet well were we if his immortal hate Had ended in the ruine of the State : But who the Churches Miseries shall scan , Will finde him Englands Dioclesian . 'T was not enough himself t' have guilty bin ▪ But Jeroboam must make Israel sin : All must obedient be to his behests , Making the meanest of the People Priests ; And Golden Calves must now be Gods to them , Bethel's preferr'd before Jerusalem : There must they Sacrifice and Incense burn , For fear the Crown to David's House return Who since that Heav'n would not him sooner dead , Yet that his Hand had earlier withered .

Printed for J. Williams at the Crown in S. Pauls Church-yard . 1661.
