Another memorial of the fortitude of Charles.
But, like a rock unmov’d,.a rock that braves
The raging tempest and the rising waves,
Propp’d on himself he stands : his solid sides
Wash off the sea-weeds, and the sounding tides.
So stood the pious prince unmov’d ; and long
Sustain’d the madness of the noisy throng.

The obverse of this medal is cast and chased, and the reverse
entirely engraved. The bust of the King is the same as on
No. 191, hut the legend and scrolls have been obliterated;
those upon the present medal having been substituted and
engraved. The size of the medal has admitted of the legend
being placed outside the floral border.
