1. ALas! within these Prison Walls, I here lamenting lye, My melting Tears like showers fall, being Condemn'd to dye: I own I did the Laws offend, unto a high degree, Which brings my Glory to an end, yet none can pity me. 2. We did in Consultation meet, the Kingdom to betray; But Providence did us defeat, and I alas! must pay For this black Crime my dearest Breath; no Friends I have, I see, Thousands may come to see my Death, yet none will pity me. 3. Alas! by our malicious Spleen; this Plot we did invent, First to Dethrone the King and Queen, then change the Government; Which to the World I do declare, in my Extremity, My Grief is more than I can bear, yet none can pity me. 4. The French we reckon'd to inform how the Affairs did go, That they might come in like a storm, in fine, to overthrow The Laws of this my Native Land; now for this Villany, A Traytor I condemned stand, no Soul can pity me. 5. The Royal Fleets, and Forts also, how they were fortified; We did intend to let France know, that it might be their Guide: All this we did for cursed Rome, and now at length I see, A shameful Death will be my Doom, yet none can pity me.
6. Over to France we being bound, then safe to be convey'd, In ready Cash one Hundred pound we to the Master paid: We streightways then did hoist up Sail, yet took immediately; My wretched State I now bewail, yet who can pity me. 7. We under Hatches then did scout, when any Ship drew near; At length the Captain found us out, which made us quake for fear, And Conscience in my Face did fly for my gross Villany; And now I lye condemn'd to dye, yet who can pity me? 8. I proffer'd then great Summs of Gold, to be set free at first, The Loyal Captain brave and bold, would not betray his Trust: Before the Counsel I was brought, to hear my Destiny, My own Destruction I have wrought, what Soul can pity me! 9. Instead of sailing o'er to France, to Prison was I sent, Alas! this most unhappy Chance, do's cause me to lament: Was e'er Man so unfortunate, to plot for Popery; I weep to see my wretched State, no Soul can pity me. 10. Before I dye I here will own what Pranks I meant to play, The King and Queen first to Dethrone, and after that betray Religion, Laws, and all that's good, to bring in Popery; To make the Kingdom swim in bloud, what Soul will pity me!
