One poem about this man claims that his "neighbour-princes" bow to him like "Joseph's sheaves." A sonnet to this man implores him to "Help us to save free Conscience from the paw / Of hireling wolves whose gospel is their maw." This man is likened to "three-fork'd lightning" and is compared to a falcon that perches on a bough after the kill in a poem that asserts "'Tis time to leave the books in dust" and don the corslet in the hall. That poem about this man claims that he "could not cease / In the inglorious art of peace" and that he "cast the Kingdoms old / Into another mould." Edmund Waller dedicated "A Pangyric" to this man. A version of him is "guiltless of his country's blood" and compared to "some mute inglorious Milton" in Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard." For 10 points, name this subject of a Milton sonnet and Andrew Marvell's "An Horation Ode," a noted Lord Protector.
