I Now, alas! this very Day, must bid Adieu to all; And in this world hant long to stay, here's Thousands sees my fall: That I a Traytor hence must part, all know the reason why, Who say, it is but my desert, For Plotting I must dye. O what a wretched man was I, content I could not be, But must conspire Treachery, which thus hath Ruin'd me: But now too late I do Repent my wicked Villany, Which makes my dying-heart relent, For Plotting I must dye. I with some others did Combine, (which on me woe does bring) And treach'rously we did design to Kill William the King: But the great God did us prevent; and I for mercy cry, Who here must suffer Punishment, For Plotting I must die. If this our Plot had took effect, it was our full design, The Nation should have suffer'd next, to which we all did join, By an Invasion to bring in King James and Popery, Which would a Bloody Day have been. For Plotting I must dye.
O glorious God, who sits above, have mercy now on me, O let me find thy gracious love, and bring my soul to thee: Forgive my Cursed Sins, O Lord, and Acts of Treachery, Some pitty unto me afford, Who must for Plotting dye. For here's no Mercy to be found from hands of Mortal Men, I am with griefs encompast round, scarce any Man's my friend, It cuts me to the very heart, when some against me cry, It is no more than my desert, For Plotting I must dye. Because that I was one chief cause, and did with others aid, For to bring in the Romish Laws, for so our Plot was laid: How can I now for mercy look, when by my Treachery, I would on no one pitty took, For Plotting I must dye. Upon the block my Neck I lay, for this my Horrid Crime, I wish that I a warning may be unto all in time. So hoping Lord my sins most foul, thou'lt pardon graciously, I to thy hands commit my soul, For Plotting here I dye.
