City Justice OR True Equity Expos'd Being an Humble Petition to the King of Eight Grandees of one Party against Four of another Faithfully turn'd into Verse dogril by as Real a Well-wisher to them as they are to Monarchy To the Tune of Packingtons Pound I. YE Sages of London of states high and low I sing an Exploit late contriv'd in the City And that you its Wit and its Justice may know I now have dispers'd it compos'd in a Ditty Eight Grandees of power Against three and one Moor Complain'd to the King of some Fines that lay sore And fram'd a Petition to heighten the Crime Which wanting good Reason I 've put into Rhime II. The stile began thus Mighty Sir you must know In the year eighty three we all guilty were found Of a damnable Riot and no one knows how Were sawcily Fin'd above four thousand Pound That by the vile power Of those three and one Moor We were all forc'd to pay the said Fine or to scowr And only for Acting like true English-men Our Zeal for the Monarchy being most plain III. But now since our happy and strange Revolution Those errors by Parliament all were dispers'd And at your Petitioners wise prosecution That Judgment illegally giv'n was revers'd That the Fine rais'd before By those three and one Moor Your Majesty's liable now to restore But that all such Crimes you may rightly condemn We hope Sir to pay us you 'll take it from them IV. For since that our Rights and our Nations defending From Tyranny was of your coming the cause No other design of Subversion intending But Relief of the Church and establishing Laws Which altho have no power On those three and one Moor To make 'em refund on a true Legal score Yet if you 'll be pleas'd Sir to break one for us We shan't and we hope none will say 't is unjust V. We think 't is unfit you that came to protect it Should your self in the least feel the scourage of the Law But rather those Criminals should be rejected That such bloody Fines from our Purses could draw That the summ nam'd before Rais'd by three and one Moor Their substantial Estates should be pawn'd to restore And in Parliamentary method be taken And so let your Majesty save your own Bacon IV The PRAYER We therefore Great Sir do most humbly beseech ye To Except the said four in the next Act of Grace Not that we have any design to o're-reach ye But through a deep sentiment of our own Case For the three and one Moor As I told you before Won't refund it but by a Parliamentary power Which if you 'll be pleas'd to effect in our way As always we us'd we will zealously Pray FINIS
