Charls Prince Elector : The Palm of the Hand , Dan. Cap. 5. The Tune to , Who list a Soldiers life , &c. Psal. I will utter my grave matter on the Harp . By the Lady Eleanor , Anno 1633. Babylon or Confusion . TO Sion most belov'd I sing of Babylon a Song , Concerns you more full well I wot then ye do think upon . Belshazzar , lo , behold the King feasting his thousand Lords : Phoebus and Mars prais'd on each string , every day records . 2. The Golden Vessels of Gods House boldly in drank about : As when Prague lost , he feasting with Ambassadors was betray'd , &c. His own ( 't is like ) were made away , bids holy things bring out ; Praising of Gold and Brass the gods , of Iron , Wood and Stone , See , hear , nor know not , out alas , praised in Court alone . 3. A hand appears , Daniel signifying judgement of God . Execution place . lo , in his sight , as he did drink the Wine , Upon the Wall against the light it wrote about a line In presence of his numerous Peers , Stiled Charls Stuart . not set an hour full , In Loyns nor Knees had he no might , chang'd as a ghastly skull . 4. Who might it read , Pleaded hard . alas , the thing , Belshazzar loud doth shout ; Calls for Magicians all with speed , came in , as wise went out . Caldeans and Southsayers sage , the meaning who so can Of Mene Mene third Realms Peer in Scarlet-Robe the Man . Iudgement Parliament . The President in Scarlet . 5. His Majesty forgets to Sup , Supt not , drank a glass of wine . Nobles astonish'd all ; Musicians may their Pipes put up , stood gazing on the wall . The pleasant Wine at length as sharp too late , till thought upon Division of another strain unfolds the Fingers long . Sentenced his Head to be severed , &c. 6. When to the Banqueting-house so wide , Soldiers alarm . where hosts of Lords did ring , So wisely came the Graceful Queen , said , Ever live , O King . Lo trouble , A handmaid that followed him . Also one Mrs Grace Cary , Anno 1639. A Prophetess . O King , thy thoughts no more forthwith shall it be read ; Daniel there is , who heretofore like doubts did over spread . 7. Could all interpretating shew which profound man soon brought , On whom confer the King needs would Gave his Order to B. Juxston , &c. not permitted to send it to his son . his Orders sight unsought . Needless preferments yours reserve , Sir , keep your gifts in store : High Offices let others gain , there 's given too much afore . 8. Yet unto thee shall here make known , resolve this Oracle true , Sure as in thy Banqueting house , The fatal place . where all that comes may view : The Vessels of my God are brought , ( Sabbaths● ) the Palm salutes thee know Herewith ; for these profan'd by thee threatneth the fatal blow . 9. O King , even thou , the most high God unto thy Grandsire bold , Caldean Land , Caldeans signifying union mingling , or as Devils , Witches , Scotland of old , called Cal●donia . a Nation fell gave them to have and hold . The Royal Scepter and the Crown advanc'd whom he would have , And whom he would he pulled down , could put to death and save : 10. Till walking at the Twelve moneth end , January 30. marched from S. James Park . subject full Tides to fall : Excellent Majesty how gone , Court exchang'd for the Stall . Thy Gransire on as came to pass , Nebuckadnezzar , a Father and Grandfather , both signifying Bewailing of the Kinred . at all yet minded not , As if a feigned Story , but his miserable Lot . 11. Expelled was , By whom termed Round dealing Gentlemen of Westminster . As multitudes grazing at S. James of late ; which forenoon the Ducks , viz. Duces , &c. mounted , or slew over the Scaffold . whose lofty words memory can speak well , Hardned in pride , unheard of such , the wilde Ass with did dwell : Sent to the Ox it owner knows , undreamt of this his Doom : Fowls their appointed time observe , wots not the Night from Noon . 12. Even that Assyrians haughty heart droven out with such as bray , The Diadem fits thee as well , Asse go as much to say . Earth that of late made seem to dance , with Songs of Triumph high All overgrown , abas'd as much , Disguised Himself . Common Soldiers . among the Herd doth lie : 13. Bewail'd alas , dejected thus , fed , grazing now full low , Whilest they bedew the Earth with tears , discerns not friend from foe . Fields , Woods , for woring out as well as Men , and Ecchoes call , Mercy this Savage King upon in holy Temples all . 14. By Star-light for device who gave , as graven on his Shield , An Eagle mounted on the Crest , a Hart in silver field . Threatens Entrails . Extold again his God as high , blessed him all his days : Others reputes them as nothing , His Prayer Book . alone proclaims his praise . 15. Whose seven times till served forth , Aged seven times seven , in 49. King and Queen of Scots both put to death of late . Render Himself a prisoner to the Scots . Promised or pretended . in vain for rest to crave ; Whom Devils Legions do possess , a Monarch turn'd a Slave . Deposed thus thou knewest well , Belshazzar , O his Son , And renown'd so deliverance voiced by every one . 16. A day a Trumpet made to sound for Generations all ; Beside 1605. November the fifth , &c. And with a Feast solemnized , that no time might recal : The memory of such an act , yet as it had not been , Thy Favorites who are more this day , or marched to thy Kin. 17. Then they adoring Wood and Stone , Statutes forsake Divine ; Meditate carved Statutes on in Faction do combine With Enemies of God most high , The Stuarts matcht with Arundel and Weston , &c. to thrust him from his Throne , And thus hast lifted up thy self so facile and so prone . 18. Against the Lord of Heaven thy King , He last of those Caldean Belchaser . ( Anagr ) Charles Beheaded , given him , Anno 33. not humbling of thine heart , But stiffned hast with pride thy neck unto thy future smart . Behold polluting holy things with Sabbath so Divine , Idolatry and Revels in Altars again adored . that day and night made thine . 19. But he in whose hands rests thy life , even breath , and thy ways all , Thou hast not glorified him sent this wrote on the Wall . Transported from Babylon the Great , to Great Britain , Mene , Mene Laus , The power of the People . God numbered thy Kingdom hath ended ; the Hand points here , In Ballance his weighed thee too , the set hour drawing neer . 20. How light soever set by thee , Crowned and married 1625. was defeated 1645. thou as thy weightless Gold , His Image wanting found much more lighter then can be told . Parted , divided thine Estate , given to the Medes is ; Reveal O Daniel . ( Anagr. ) Eleanor Audley . At hand as these bids it adieu , finish'd thy Majesties .
