great'st omnipotence in deepest danger showes And metamorphiz'd their deseignes to their owne ouerthrowes Heauen 's graunt that these perfidious plots Popes Period may portend And that Romes Hydra headed sect may haue conclusiue end The triuial Prouerbe then pronounc'd to murdering slaues is this Thou art almoste so bloud-bestain'd as a damn'd Papist is Let Christian hearts hold them at gaze as Nights Sun-shining Owles Are wondred at by warbling Birds and light-embracing Fowles What dismall terror had it beene to each teare-trickling eye To view dismembred corps dispers'd and dissipated lye To see such royall and Noble shapes blowne vp in th'whisking ayre Heere armes there legges disseuered quite lie mangled euery where Some ston'd with feare some raging runne some volley foorth shrill cries T' appall blacke hell amaze the earth and penetrate the skies Some swift persue wars murmuring noise be clad with clashing armes Some fir'd with furie entertain'd Rebellions fierce alarmes Then many headed multitude confused flocke together As though Deuils furies grizly ghosts were all assembled thither To see the strengthlesse sucklings braines bedasht gainst flinty stones And pampred Palfreyes steele strong hoofes strike fire on dead mens bones Some wounded deadly dead-aliue liuing crie out for death Some dying liue some liuing dye and gape for liuelesse breath Some groueling wallow on the earth in blood halfe suffocate And euery streete be purplefied with goares coagulate To see sterne Tyrants recking blades bedide with Brittaines bloud Hurling alongst the Channels like a Scarlet coloured floud To see mountaines of slaughtered men whose crimson-tonged wounds Gainst Papists vengeance dread proclaime with hideous dreadfull sounds Confusion with hels horride howles denounce grim deaths alarmes While leane-fac'd Famine all ingirts betwixt her icye armes To view blacke Murther sans remorce rush raging through each streete Massacring with impartiall sword the next he haps to meete Then should each heau'n-affecting soule by deepe destruction fall The Preacher Saint religious man merchant mechanicke all By Popish Sectaries then should haue beene drag'd to deathes darke Caues Matrons defil'd Virgins deflowr'd by base vnhallowed slaues One scud through strange Meandred paths to some vast vaulted Caue Another climbe some Rockie Mount his desperate life to saue Others more sterne resolu'd t' indure wars tyrannizing blowes And all distract enuiron'd with inexecrable woes Then Britons Angel-garded gates had opened to their hand And entrance made for forraigne powers to ruinate the land Then had these sight-depriued Moales who vndermin'd the ground Peece-meale to riue the Parliament with sense appalling sound Brought Gospellers and Protestants to vndeserued shame Diuulging by their forg'd declaimes that they had wrought the same Thereby t' incurre a generall grace to steale the vulgars hearts And by the blood of innnocence to act deaths tragicke parts O Catesby Pierey hels blacke fiends these were your working frames So that each childe doth scritch with feare at mention of your names These are the fatall accidents that would from treason rise Sought by the Papists damn'd designes and faithlesse fallacie Thus would they gormandize mans bloud with vnrelenting fell Like Fiends rowz'd from the tenebrous deepes of Sulphur-flaming hell And fraught with vniuersall rage gainst earth connex'd in one Typhous-like hoisse Rocke on Rocke Heau's great King to dis-throne But he that from the Chaos darke produc'd both life and light Did explicate their plots compos'd in th'adumbragious Night And vrg'd them to reueale themselues conceale they could not chuse For murther still it selfe condemnes fore truth stands out t' accuse Remarke how God with semblant plagues their crimes recaliate Who did with hels ambitious drugs their soules inebriate For they the death of Prince and Peere by Powder did intend So pittilesse powder did conspire their neuer ending end And those heads which those engines fram'd erected are on hic Exploded from the sight of heauen and loath'd of earthly eye Therefore to Heauen 's Iehouah yeeld all vniformall praise Laudate sing with ioynt assent his powerfull glory raise Who hath preseru'd our liues traduc'd to direfull Harpies clawes Exhal'd vs from the chaps of hell and death's deuouring jawes Thou great composer of earths frame with Cherubs guard our King And shroud him from conspiracies with thy all-couering wing Protect him from all forraine force from home-bred broiles and jarres And let the number of his daies surmount the countlesse Stars With courage simpathize his power corroborate his armes Prescribe the meanes t'infatuate Romes minacing alarmes Inspire the hearts of Christian Kings t'vnite their force in one And drag that triple-crowned Beast from out his monstrous rhrone Europe can nere Heau'ns Requiem sing with peacefull amitie Till these bloud-bathed Romish Wolues quite extirpated be Then let each Christian subiugate discute the papall yoke And with a heau'n-bred high resolue blinde haeresies reuoke Vlisses-like t'heau'ns Mast adhere when Popish Syrens sing Confide not in Romes Crocadiles who weeping wound and sting Let 's serue one God one Gospell preach one faith professe each one That we may shine like glorious Stars fore his maiesticke throane That at the great and generall Doome when Mortals rise from dust We all may reape immortall Crownes reserued for the iust FINIS
