I. AH! Cruel Bloody Tom! What canst thou hope for more, Than to receive the Doom Of all thy Crimes before? For all thy bold Conspiracies Thy Head must pay the score; Thy Cheats and Lies, Thy Box and Dice, Will serve thy turn no more. II. Ungrateful thankless Wretch! How couldst thou hope in vain (Without the reach of Ketch) Thy Treasons to maintain? For Murders long since done and past, Thou Pardons hast had store, And yet wouldst still Stab on, and kill, As if thou hopdst for more. III. Yet Tom, er he would starve, More Blood resolvd tove spilt; Thy flight did only serve To justifie thy Guilt: While They whose harmless Innocence Submit to Chains at home, Are each day freed, While Traytors bleed, And suffer in their room. IV. When Whigs a PLOT did Vote, What Peer Justice fled? In the FANATICK PLOT Tom durst not shew his head. Now Sacred Justice rules above, The Guiltless are set free, And the Nappers napt, And Clapper clapt In his CONSPIRACY.
V. Like Cain, thou hast a Mark Of Murder on thy Brow; Remote, and in the dark, Black Guilt did still pursue: Nor England, Holland, France, or Spain, The Traytor can defend; He will be found In Fetters bound, To pay fort in the end. VI. Tom might about the Town Have bullyd, huffd and roard, By every Venus known, Been for a Mars adord: By friendly Pimping and false Dice Thou mightst have longer livd, Hectord and shammd, And swore and gamd, Hadst thou no Plots contrivd. VII. Tom once was Cock-a-hoop Of all the Huffs in Town; But now his Pride must stoop, His Courage is pulld down: So long his Spurs are grown, poor Tom Can neither fly nor fight; Ah Cruel Fate! That at this rate The Squire shoud foil the Knight! VIII. But now no remedy, It being his just Reward; In his own Trap, you see, The Tygre is ensnard: So may all Traytors fare, till all Who for their Guilt did fly, With Bully Tom By timely Doom Like him, unpityd die.
