now_o every_o church_n do_v echo_n with_o the_o bell_n and_o mirth_n and_o music_n in_o our_o city_n dwell_v let_v the_o dull_a scot_n lament_v we_o shall_v not_o grieve_v unless_o your_o highness_n do_v sweet_a england_n leave_v your_o absence_n long_o as_o breed_v our_o discontent_n we_o owe_v our_o grief_n to_o a_o ill_a parliament_n but_o they_o be_v seatterd_v to_o and_o fro_o we_o find_v and_o now_o your_o foe_n do_v prove_v a_o little_a kind_n york_n have_v no_o foe_n but_o those_o that_o lurk_v in_o hole_n and_o undermine_v he_o secret_o like_o mole_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o some_o whig_n look_v sour_a and_o dull_a and_o do_v their_o hat_n over_o their_o eyebrow_n pull_v some_o hate_v your_o worth_n and_o other_o hate_v your_o name_n some_o will_v eclipse_v your_o

be_v good_a evil_n some_o such_o we_o have_v who_o look_n be_v very_o pale_a who_o at_o your_o royal_a action_n always_o rail_v and_o yet_o can_v hardly_o tell_v you_o what_o they_o ail_v they_o pine_v and_o fret_v look_v dull_a and_o sigh_v and_o wrine_n and_o hate_v you_o cause_v you_o be_v the_o royal_a line_n they_o sigh_v and_o mourn_v and_o vex_v and_o wish_v the_o thames_n may_v drown_v the_o most_o illustrious_a highborn_n james_n they_o do_v despise_v you_o yet_o can_v give_v no_o reason_n only_o they_o will_v be_v nibble_v at_o high_a treason_n fain_o will_v they_o see_v you_o fall_v before_o the_o throne_n and_o make_v new_a noll_n fancy_v the_o crown_n his_o own_o they_o loathe_v good_a nature_a charles_n and_o their_o sick_a for_o want_v of_o rump_n old_a oliver_n
