6
Strange and Wonderful Prophecies.
Earth that of late made seem to dawn
with songs of Triumph high,
Fleeth each wight abas'd as much,
among the Herd doth lie.
By [1] Star-light for device who gave,
as graven on his Shield,
An eagle mounted on the Crest,
a Hart in silver field.
Extold again his God as high,
blessed him all his days:
[2] Others reputes them as nothing,
alone proclaims his praise.
Whose seven [3] times it served forth
in vain for rest to crave;
Whom Devils Legions do possess,
a Monarch turn'd a Slave.
Deposed thus, thou knewest well,
Belshazzar, [4] O his Son,
And renew'd so, [5] deliverance is
voiced by every one.
A day a [6] Trumpet made to sound
For Generations all;
And with a Feast solemnised,
- ↑ Speaking of her own family.
- ↑ She here blames those that would not believe her.
- ↑ Here she prophecied of the very seven times seven that is 49th year of his age, the King was be-headed.
- ↑ Prince Charles.
- ↑ This fell out true, for presently after the Kings death the House of Commons Voted England a deliverance from Monarchy.
- ↑ An Act was published in all parts against kingly Government, notwithstanding the many favourites thereof, And Lords that the King used to call Cosens.
