Well was it for all of them they went away, to become part of that people, the freest, most powerful, and most prosperous on earth. Had they stayed, it would have been to suffer persecution; the fate of all who then fought for England's freedom, save the false ones and cravens, who cried "Quarter!"--on their knees, basely begged it from that loathsome monster of iniquity--the "Merry Monarch." And Rupert, Prince of Cavaliers, what became of him? He too returned with the Restoration--another of its curses--fresh from a long career of piracy in the West Indian seas, to be made Lord High Admiral of England, with no end of other honours and emoluments heaped upon him! To live for years after a life of luxurious ease, die "in the purple," and be buried with all pomp and ceremony. For though a pirate, he was still a Prince of the Blood Royal! THE END.
