   A View of Oliver Cromwell
A man unbending and austere
Deeming himself elected,
Chosen to lead, to protect
The sacred ground
Of his hallowed country.

Upright and unyielding
A model of rectitude.
He, the righteous warrior
Of the lord, our chief of men,
Demanded of others
That they follow and obey.

No king, but servant in arms.
True to principle and ready
To mercilessly defend
Heavenly order on earth.

Those born thereafter
Looked back in admiration.
A sterling patriot,
Unwavering in his cause,
Put those outside the bounds
Of his god-appointed realm
Pitilessly to the sword.
