I. THere is a Report, new rais'd by the Rabble, and yet a mere Fable; Both City and Court is fill'd with the News, That Witney's out of Gaol, Without giving of Bail; 'tis false I declare, He lyes still in Fetters, He lyes still in Fetters, the more is his Care. II. These Fetters and Chains, with which he is hamper'd, if he would have scamper'd, 'Twoud puzzle his Brains for to get them off; Besides, there's a Crew Of the Devil knows who, which Guards him likewise, For fear of their losing For fear of their losing their wonderful Prize. III. Their kindness to him, he well do's remember, the last of December Under Lock and Key they put him with care Where he still is confin'd, They were wonderful kind, he needs must confess, That he cannot leave 'em, That he cannot leave 'em. altho' in Distress. IV. The Doors being barr'd too keep him from running, besides, they are cunning, For there's a strong Guard of Keepers likewise: Nay, if Sampson was there He could never get clear; no, neither can he, It is not so easie, It is not so easie, from Newgate to flee.
V. The Valiant and Stout, if once over-power'd, appears like a Coward: There's no getting out for Whitney I find; Iron Bars he can't break, Nor the Stony Walls shake, they're stronger than so, He there must continue, He there must continue, whether he will or no. VI. He study'd which way how to run and leave 'em; but who can deceive them, Their Fetters, and they a Gyant would tame: Let him do what he can, He that never fear'd Man, not since he was Born, Do's now lie in Prison, Do's now lie in Prison, with Sorrow forlorn. VII. 'Tis said he was fled, without disputation this ample Relation Was carry'd and spread by Friends of his own, Who'd be glad without doubt, If he could but get out, but wishes are vain, For in his new Quarters For in his new Quarters He still do's remain. VIII. The Truth to declare, and not to deceive ye, if you'll not believe me, I'd have you repair with speed to his Room, In the Goal of Newgate, Where both early or late, he's free for your sight, He is to be spoke with He is to be spoke with From Morning till Night.
