A printed (approx.) 6 ¼ in. x 13 in. broadside, attractively matted & framed. Broadside shows printed black mourning borders around the edges; 1" repaired tear… to lower left edge (through start of line begining: That Curseth him.) 36 printed lines (excluding title) with numerous words in italic; initial letter G in next to last line (Adieu, Great Sir) has been darkened with ink.

Glass front; framed in 1970's-80's period. With wire hanger, etc. on back; brown backing paper has some penciling, tears to lower section. Weight: 4 lbs. A rare piece of English 17th century ephemeral printing such as was collected by Samuel Pepys (we hope another copy remains in his collection); a mourning broadside issued on the death of King Charles II in 1685. We (and others) have not been able to identify the author of this poem, but it is worth further research. [Text (italics not shown)]: If Kings be Gods ( as Sacred writ doth say ) / How then did CHARLES to Death become a Prey? / Ah! he that said ye're Gods, did say age'n / Though Gods ye are, yet ye shall dye like Men; / Thus, as a Mirrour, that is made of Glass, / Is not more strong, because a Monarchs Face / Is represented in it: so good Kings, / And Great ( though called Gods ) are Brittle things. / On higher ground they'r placed than the rest / Of Men on Earth, and yet but Men at Best. / Had it been otherwise; no Floods of Tears / Had drench't our Land, nor Sighs been mixt with fears, / Such as in Looks, and Habits may be seen, / And we of England, but too Happy been. / A Prince of Peace, Encourager of Arts, / And Captivator of his Subjects Hearts. / The Countries Father, but the Churches Son, / Which He as no small Honour lookt upon. / Such was His Mercy, 'tmight be said of Him, / That He was Merciful almost t' a Crime. / So Peaceful was his Reign, it might be said, / That the fierce Leopard lay down with the Kid. / What Honest Naboth ever did Complain, That He from him his Vineyard did detain? / Whose Ox, or Ass, of him we well may say, / Did ever He by injustice take away? / If so, then Cursed be that Shimei fell, / That Curseth him, that did Deserve so well: / And never may his Wretched Soul find rest, / That Peaceful CHARLES's Ashes shall molest. / Princes are Gods, Oh, do not then Blaspheme, / (After they're Dead) by speaking ill of Them. / Merciful CHARLES in Heaven has mercy found, / For which he's with Eternal Glory Crown'd. / Adieu, Great Sir, enjoy your happy Rest, / Whose Memory all Ages will call Blest. Feb. the 6th. 1684/5.
