On a Royal Visit to the Vaults. Or Caesar's Discovery of C.I. and H. 8. In Ye Same Vault
FAMED for their civil and domestic quarrelsSee heartless Henry lies by headless Charles;Between them stands another sceptred thing,It lives, it reigns--"aye, every inch a king."Charles to his people, Henry to his wife,In him the double tyrant starts to life:Justice and Death have mixed their dust in vain.The royal Vampires join and rise again.What now can tombs avail, since these disgorgeThe blood and dirt of both to mould a George!
