Notes: No date is given on the imprint. The poem's descriptions of the nation's sorrow for the death of James I and the celebrations that greeted the announcement of Charles I's succession makes 1625 the most likely date of publication. The main poem deals with the death of James and the succession of Charles. This is followed by a shorter poem: 'A briefe recitall and manner of the conveiance of his Corps from Theobalds to Denmarke-House, the 4. of Aprill. 1625.'
