GOod mayst thou be, as thou art great, Ever regarded, Or like Alexander compleat, Richly rewarded, Gainst thy vertue none dar stand, Exrluded Members now are, Back returnd by thy care. Many miles didst thou compass, Only us to free Nothing by thee too hard was, Compared to be, Keep us in thy prot[e]ction, We were all greatly distrest, Bring thou in all the best. Great Bonfires then was made, Expressing joy, Of us that sorrow did invade, Refresh our anoy, Gard us with thy aid we desire, Exaltations we will raise, Unto heaven in thy praise.
Much good hast thou already done, Over this land, Now our hearts thou quite hast wone, Command Command, Kindly we will entertain, Those that wear Excluded, For they have not intruded. Govern thou us by right-ful laws, Exclude us not from Our just rights in any cause, Reveng us on Great Britins cruel hateful foes, Future dangers to prevent, For a full free Parliament. Millions dayly thou mayst see, Owning thy worth, None of us from thee will flee, Cary us forth, Knowledg thou hast in each thing, We will Strive to give content, For a ful free Parliament.

GAther thou together Rights, Every man, Of ninty Burgesses and Knights, Revive again, Give to each man his due place, Let there be none absent, In a full free Parliament. May five hundred and eight Onely now sit Now the whole Land takes delight Commending thy wit; Knew the world but thy worth, They would not strive to prevent A full free Parliament. Great numbers of them are dead, Envy controld, Others then away was led Round the pin-fold; Great was our deliverance To thousands, to their content For a full free Parliament. Make four hundred and twenty Own their seclusion Nay the House being empty Caused confusion, Keeping all to themselves, Which they may now repent Before a full Parliament. Great worth hath thee so renownd Even in these dayes Of thy worthy Actions crownd, Right is the praise Good men of thee relate This thy noble Action Of Parliaments election.
May we but once live to see Our happiness Now inlarged be by thee Could we express Knowledge of our joyful State Which doth breed our content In a full free Parliament Great Arthur with his Hasel sword Even ufould, O rest you must upon my word, Return controld, Give Durhams Bishoprick away To the poor that now lament, Desiring a free Parliament. Many thousands he hath wronged, Out of disdain, Now give thou what to them belonged, Con once again, Keep back nothing from the poor, And strive not to prevent, A full free Parliament. Grave Arthur Causd the City gates, Egerly fall, Oh how every man him bates, Regards him small Geat in Justice was it then, The like dangers to prevent, Bring him before the Parliament. Many thousands him disdain, Out on his deeds, No good remembrance doth remain, Coning proceeds, Keeping us now from those that would Breed us all discontent, God send us a free Parliament.
