AN ELEGY Upon that Renowned Hero and Cavalier , THE Lord CAPEL , Who ( for his Loyalty ) was Barbarously Murther'd in the Palace-Yard at Westminster , on the _____ day of _____ 16

Preserved by a Loyal Person ; And never before Printed .

SO have I seen a frolick Bridegroom come , And guild with smiles the gaudy Wedding-room , Joy dancing on his Face , whilst in his Eye The young Bride's Blushes kept true Harmony : Just with that look the Romans Victors all In Triumph rid unto the Capital ; But not the Deecij to their Death , their Eyes Beheld but Fame , Thine blest Eternity ; Most like the Fire-prooft Martyr , that proclaims His Conquest crown'd in Pyramids of Flames , In ravishment of Soul ; and leaves the Toy Of Life , not with excess of Pain , but Joy . I , so brave CAPEL fell ; the Scaffold bore No look of life , but he Dying wore , Death lookt like Death , and all the standers by , As if that he had come , to see them dye ; Envy her self Great CAPEL's Triumph sung ; Earth groan'd his Exit ; whilst all Heaven rung With a loud Plaudit , extasi'd to see This last Great Act , of his red Tragedy . Treason combin'd , call'd Law established ; Immediate Death by Tyrants menaced , Could not his Rock-built Constancy abate ; But his Just Soul stood still Resolv'd like Fate . And had the Machine of the whole World broke , The Ruins still had him undaunted took : To view his Life , would but redrown'd the Eye Of his and Virtue 's Friends ; Truth 's History Shall write it to the Age unborn , and they Peruse it with that Zeal good Vestals pray ; And that sad Page which tells his Death , appears The Winding-sheet of many Sighs and Tears ; His Life , Why ? 't is a Theme for Angels meet ; But this I 'le say , Of all the Heav'n-bound Fleet , Of Crimson Martyrs , through the red Sea gon , Of England's Treason and Rebellion , Except their matchless Royal Admiral , CAPEL came richest home in the Ark Loyal ; Where all the Stars shot Volleys , and was giv'n Eternal Welcome to his Haven , Heaven .
