Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England

Mercy would give them all like boon. To hear Them groan and beg the drink they cannot get To see them eke their sufferings out and die, Brings tender tingling into Pity's ear.

Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England: A Drama

Scene I. The field of Naseby after the battle. Soldiers on picket.

First Soldier. The godly Cromwell girts with glory old
Britannia's brow. Yea, and this day will pin
A brave rosette upon her breast.

Second S. In sooth,
The carnal prigs, who pranked themselves in their
Ungodly pride, have foundered on their fare.
Rupert, the whip, has lost his snapper, and
Will henceforth urge in vain the jaded nag
That bears the king's cause on its bony back.
He will remind himself, while memory lasts,
Of Naseby's field, as where the Lord set down
The foot of his almightiness and said:
"Thus far, proud Prince! but here thy tether pulls."

Third S. Marston and Newberry slapped him on the cheek;
But Naseby stabs the dare-dog to the heart. -
I wonder what the king is thinking of
To-night. Belike, his thoughts come thick as dust
On windy days.
