YOU Traytors of England how dare you Conspire, Against such a Prince whose love we admire? And against his dear Brother that Royal brave Sparke, Right Heir to the Crown, sweet James Duke of York. But yet I do hope, that theyl ner have their will, To touch our dear Princes who nere thought them ill; O Russel you ploted against a good King. Whose fame through all Nations in AEurope doth Reign But Heavens will protect him and still be his guide, And keep him from danger and be on his side; And all that do plot against him or the Heir, I hope that their Feet will be catcht in a snare: By this Conspiration your Ruine youve caught, And under a hatchet your head you have brought: O Russel you plotted, etc. You might have livd manie a year in much Fame, And added much Honour unto your good Name; But now this a blot in your Scutcheon will be, For being concerned with this gross Villany; But now your dear Parents in heart may lament, Without all dispute theyve but little content, To think that you plotted, etc. Your Lady may grieve, and lament for her loss, To lose you for Treason it proves a great cross, But it was no more than what was your desert, No reason but that he should taste of the smart: [But] had you then been [a] good S[ubject] indeed, You would not have sufferd, you would have been freed. But Russel you plotted, etc. Now let me but ask you a question or two, What would you have had, or intended to do? The Laws of this Nation ye would have thrown down, Then ye would have aimd at the Scepter and Crown;
But Heaven I hope will all Plotting disclose, And the Laws of the Nation shall punish the Foes Of our great Monarch, and gracious good King, Whose Fame through all Nations in AEurop doth Reign. When Persons have Honor and Pleasures great store, Yet still they are having and gruding for more; Their hearts are deceitful and puffed with pride, And Lucifer certainly stands by their side,To things most unlawful he makes them conspire, But he laughs at them all when they stick in the mire, O Russel you plotted, etc. True Subjects of England are filled with fears, And for their great Soveraign they shed many tears, To think this no reason will Traytors convince, But still theyle be plotting against a good Prince: Those that should have been a great help to the Land, They sought for our ruine we well understand. But Russel you plotted, etc. There was Walcot and Rouse were both in the plot, And Hone I do reckon must not be forgot; At Tyburn for certain, each man took his turn, And then in the fire their bowels did burn, A death so deserving, none will deny: For sure they plotted against a good King, Whose Fame through all Nations in AEurop doth Reign. Let this be a warning to Rich and to Poor, To be [true] to their King, and to plot so no more, And that our good King may have Plenty and P[eace,] And the Loyal Subjects may daily increase, There never were People more happy than we, If unto the Government all would agree. Then hang up those Traitors who love not the King, Whose Fame through all Nations in AEurope doth Reign.
