COme all our Caballers & Parliament Votes That stickld for hanging & cuting of throats, Lament the misfortune of perjured Otes. Who first must be Pillord and after be Hangd. What Devil suspected this, 5 years agon, When I was in hopes to hang up half the Town, I Swore against Miter and Cursed the Crown. But now must be Pillord and after be Hangd. I cursed the Bishops and hangd up the Priests, I swore myself Doctor yet never could Preach, But a Cant full of Blasphemy all I could reach. I now must be Pillord, and after be Hangd. Now Otes is i th Cubboard & Manger with Colt, The Caldron may boyl me for fear I should molt, here Ive ner a Bum for a Wheel-Barrow jolt. Yet now must be Pillord and after be Hangd. My forty Commissions and Spanish black Bills, Invisible Armys lodgd upon Hills, Such old perjurd Nonsence my Narrative fills. That I now must be Pillord and after be Hangd.
My twelve pounds a Week I want to support For stinking i th City and fouling the Court, Like Devil in Dungeon Im now hamperd fort. Yet first must be Pillord and after be Hangd They hang us in order, the Devil knows how, Zounds all that ere put one paw to the Plow, I ner feard the Devil would fail me till now. That I first must be Pillord & after be hangd For Calling the Duke a Papist and Traytor, I often have calld the King little better, Im fast by the heels like a Beast in a Fetter. I first must be Pillord and after be Hangd. I swore that the Queen would Poyson the King, That Wakeman had monys the Poyson to bring, When I knew in my heart there was no such thing. I now must be Pillord and after be Hangd. Im Resolvd to be hangd dead drunk like Hugh Peter If I can but have my Skin stuft with good Liquor, Then I shall limp to old Tapskie much quicker. But I first must be Pillord and after be hangd
