Excerpt from Life of Oliver Cromwell To The Lord General Cromwell. Written 1652. "Cromwell, our chief of men, who through a cloud Not of war only, but distractions rude Guided by faith and matchless fortitude, To peace and truth thy glorious way hast ploughed, And on the neck of crowned Fortune proud Hast rear'd God's trophies, and his work pursued, While Darwen stream with blood of Scots imbrued, And Dunbar field resounds thy praises loud, And Worcester's laureat wreath. Yet much remains To conquer still, Peace hath her victories No less renowned than war: new foes arise Threatening to bind our souls with secular chains: Help us to save free conscience from the paw Of hireling wolves whose Gospel is their maw."
