Self & Society: British Lit @Hood College

"And, as a vapor or a drop of rain, Once lost, can ne'er be found again,      So when you or I are made      A fable, song, or fleeting shade,      All love, all liking, all delight      Lies drowned with us in endless night. Then while time serves, and we are but decaying, Come, my Corrina, come, let's go a-Maying." (63-70)

"So restless Cromwell would not cease In the inglorious arts of peace, But through adventurous war Urgèd his active star, And, like the three-forked lightning, first Breaking the clouds where it was nursed, Did through his own side His fiery way divide" (Marvel, 9-16) Is Marvel blaming Cromwell for the civil war? Restless Cromwell through war urged his star (which controls his fate) and divided his side (which I take just means his countrymen since it's being compared to lightning breaking the clouds that nursed it). Am I reading this correct?
