HEre Gentle Reader, thou mayst cast thy Eye, And see the Due Reward of Perjury. Perjury! of that black Dye, that dismal Hue, Which none but Oats, & his Infernal Crew Cou'd ere have Impudence enough to Frame, Three whole deluded Kingdoms to Inflame. The Bloud of Murder'd Innocents to shed, And pull down Vengeance on his Guilty Head. A Viler Mass of Villanous Shams and Lyes, Imposture, Cheat, Delusion, Forgeries, Not all Hells Imps could e're together twist: Nor Blacker Lips the Holy BIBLE Kiss't. Whole Deluges of Blood cou'd scarce asswage The Hunger of his All-Devouring Rage; So Keen his Spight, that nothing Great or Good From his Destroying Oaths protected stood; The shining Vertues of our Gracious KING Could not escape his Venoms poyson'd sting. The Perjur'd Slave (void of all Grace and Shame) Durst even profane the Mighty YORKS bright Name. Great YORK, to his Eternal Glory due, Truest of Friends, and Faithfull'st Brother too. Whom now Just Heaven t' his Right-ful Diadem Brings The Best of Subjects Crown'd the Best of KINGS: Nay, the Black Gaul of his polluted Tongue Durst even the Royal Spotless CATHERINE Wrong; The Sacred Partner of Great CHARLES his Bed; A purer Saint a Life on Earth n'ere lead,
Since the Blest MARYES Glorious Race was run, The Maiden-Mother t'an Immortal Son: Her to his Plott the Impious Slave durst bring, As Poysoner to her best Loved LORD, and KING. A Lye so Rank, so Execrably Base, Would raise a Blush even in an AEthiops Face. Yet this Bright Saint the Traytor durst bely, And never Tremble at the Blasphemy. But now his Damn'd Designes are all Unhing'd, And Guiltless Blood will be at last Reveng'd. And as a Pennance for his Crying Sin, His disrobed Gown, does the first Scene begin, Too long a cover to th' foul Fiend within: Whilst o're his Brow, like Murdering Cains old Brand, In Capital Characters his Treasons stand, T' Expose the Pest and Monster of the Land. Then to the Pillory his Front of Brass, And Face of Steel in solemn Tryumph pass. Exalted here to all the Gazing Crowd (No Shame too Publick, and no Scorn too Loud:) His advanc'd Head, and his noos'd Neck we see; A Neck would even Disgrace the Tyburn Tree. Then up towards Paddington behold him Trot, His Shoulders laid as naked as his Plot. To the Carts-Tayl our little Titus Tyed, Whilst Brisk Jack-Ketch bescowers his Swearing Hyde; And the kind Lash does his Jirkt Bones Cajole, Not half so Tough as his more Harden'd Soul.
