Charles The First was in 1641
Rapidly losing his authority
Raising tax without representation
Rarely endears kings in democracies
As the island of Britain sought to be...
Imposing anti-Puritan measures
In England, and raising his own army
To enforce reforms of a religious
Kind on the Scots nation, his dwindling purse
Meant he reluctantly called Parliament
Hoping they'd grant him taxes. Instead they
Opposed his measures and enacted laws
On the regular continuation
Of Parliament, and he had to agree
