AN EPITAPH Upon His Late MAJESTY , King CHARLES the II. THE Statue , which the Rhodians say , The Sun Descends on every Day ; Is also here in ENGLAND set Within this Royal Cabinet ; To whose Eternal Hallowed-Vrn , Pilgrims from Far , shall come and Mourn : Their Snowy-Heads shall Prostrate here , And Drop a Pearly-Aged Tear . TIME , that does make of All his Game , And over all our Hours does Reign ; With this Great Treasure now Possest , May set Him down in Peace , and Rest ; While We ( through Sorrows-Vale ) go on , As CAESAR past Great-Rubicon . Thy Actions cannot be Inrol'd , Nor can upon the Brass be told , Nor can be set in Amell'd-Gold , Like Wonders that the Poets tell Of HERO'S that in Marble Dwell ; Which like to Rocks that Tempests Scorn , And oft are Angry with the Storm ; Must Bow , and yield at TIMES Great Call , And into Flinty-pieces fall : While thy Blest Name shall still Out-live ( All the Decay that Age can give ) More sweet then those Hydaspes Lends , And the Fam'd - Phoenix e're she Ends : Thy Spirit did ( like Elijah ) Fall To Bless us at thy FUNERAL . FINIS .
