YOu Loyall Subjects all give eare, unto my sad and joyfull Song; A true Relation you shall heare, For unto you it doth belong. The Devill and his Instruments, hath long been Plotting night and day, For to destroy both King and Church, and now they thought they found the way, They would cut down both Root & Branch and all the Shrubs that doth belong, About our Royall Garden plot, as Fences to our Ceader strong. The chiefe Ring-leader of this Plot, is Mazarine as I do understand, The chiefest Enemie to our King, when bloody Cromwell ruld this Land. These Saint like Devils would bring in the French or who they else could find, To ruine King and Kingdome too, for to revenge their bloody mind. For in this Plot they did intend, by fire and Sword to make their way, Throughout the City to the Court, and all they met for to destroy.
They would a saved the King they say, but make him yeild unto their will, To Sign or Grant what they desired, or else be sure they would him kill. The Queen, the Duke, and Proginie, and General Monck should all a dyed, With most of the Nobility, and all the Royall part beside. Those that they Caveliers did call, but little mercy should have found, And I beleive that for their King, their herts with swords both fals to grond. I hope theres mo[r]e that now wears swords for to defend his Majestie, If ever he should in danger be, For quarter now they scorn to cry. The number in this Devilish Plot, it is not known, nor cannot be, But seventeen thousand as tis thought, should first begin this Masacree. No doubt but desperate theyd been, if God had let them int alone, And thus those Saints, they call themselts by blood would make the Land their own

This Devilish Plot was carried on, tis thought in all the Kingdome round, So secret are they, now tis know not may of them pet are sound. A Porter at first discovered all, which once was Servant unto White, Which White was Major once of foot at Portsmouth nare the Isle of Wight. Ho did belong to Morley too, that kept the Tower a little while, What side theyre for thers none doth know for every five they did beguile. All the Grand Rebels of the Land, which many thought was ore in France, Was here in London as tis thought, this Hellish Plot for advance. Theres Ludlow, Whaley, and Baxster too, with Okey & Hewson that single eyd theif With the Devil of the west cald Disbrow, and Overton these were the chiefs. But Overton and Disborows tooks, and bath are fast enough in hold; Squier Dun never fears to charge them all for all they think themselves so bold.
Theres thousands is this Land I feare to whom the King doth mercy shew; They are resolved for to be hangd, whether his Grace he will or no. Examples you see every day, on most the Gates here in the City, Now you have hangd your Masters up, Dun vowes on you heel take no pitty. And if your troubled still (he saith) with the greedy worm still in your brains, Heel case you ont in half an houre, or else have nothing for his pains. But af your Friend I do desire Youd pray to God to guid your hearts. To fear the Lord and love your King, and then youl act true Subjects parts. If God had no reveald this Plot, a bloody Christmass had besell. Then civily pray drink on pot, to one we oft for to love well. The Porter tis, who under God, preservd the King, land all his Peers. Be sure heel never be forgot. by honest Royall Caveliers.
