HAve at ye blind Harpers; for once let us try To Sing a poor Chancellour's sad Destiny: Bewail'd by three Kingdoms, without one wet Eye. Then Farewel Jeff------s, Old Boy Jeff------s. Ever and Ever Farewel. With Popery and Slavery, he thriv'd Cock-a-hoop: But when Right, Law, and Gospel, began to look up, He got a Consumption, and Dy'd of a Droop. Then Farewel, etc. To Die neither Satan nor Beelzebub's Debtors; Some say he's but gon to Visit his Betters; And to take up a Lodging for Old Father Peters. Then Farewel, etc. Yet, the Chancellour's Dead: And would you know why? His Boys in the West, like Goblins stood by; And with Bloody Pitch-forks kill'd him dead in the Eye. Then Farewel, etc. The Ghosts of his Martyrs, they made suth a stir there, That Great Russel's Ghost, and Cornish's Murther, E'en Frighted his Soul to the Devil, and further. Then Farewel, etc. The sad thought of Hemp pierc'd him thoro' and thoro' And to tell you the Truth in meer Grief and Sorrow, He e'en dy'd to day, to scape Hanging to Morrow, Then Farewel, etc. This Hector, that once could Roar, Swagger and Bristle, Our great Son of Thunder's gon out like a Fizle; And bids both the Sheriffs and Hang-man go Whistle. Then Farewel, etc. But to march off so sneaking, in troth was foul play, For his good Friends of Holbourn, as all People say, Complain he has lost them a whole Holy-day. Then Farewel, Jeff------s, Old Boy Jeff------s, Ever and Ever Farewel.
