Such traytors should be hangd that basely bost As faring well by shamless crying Rost And now you Traytors pack togethergo we shall live happy when your gone I trow Hang. Run for the Carpenters come away build up the Scaffold at the Tower hill and another in the Palace-yard let us do to them as they did to us or it shall hard Then hasten Carpenters and let us Gallows have a pace To hang up every Traytor yet that invies Charls his race Halt And this shall be their Epitaph upon their graves Here lyes within this barre● ground The chiefe Imposters so profound That with the Angels guardian Both King and Kingdom did trapan Their consciences was so wide that you Might coach and horses drive quit through And they confounded every one And calld three Nations all their own They were Tyrants of the largest size Confounding the ignorant and wise They did rebel against their King And Traytors proved in every thing A shameful death God will them send And so farwel this is the end FINIS Harry Martin
