Here lies King James, who did so propagate Unto the World that blest and quiet state Wherein his Subjects liv'd, he seem'd to give That peace which Christ did leave, and so did live, As once that King and Shepherd of his Sheep, That whom God saved, here he seem'd to keep, Till with that innocent and single heart
With which he first was crown'd, he did depart To better life Great Brittain to lament, That Strangers more then thou may yet resent The sad effects, and while they feel the harm They must endure from the victorious arm Of our King Charles, may they so long complain, That tears in them force thee to weep again.
