I. YOU, who the gazing World did once admire, And You, who were extoll'd and prais'd by all; You, who each sighing Virgin did desire, And You, who once we might Great Monmouth call; Wherefore do you against our Peace conspire, And in a bloody War our Land inthral? Thus Lucifer aspiring to be Great, Was thrown from Heav'n to his Infernal Seat. II. When to Great CHARLES's Arms you did return, (Not of your fore-committed Crimes to tell,) How did that Sacred Prince's Bosom burn, In hopes you from your former Ills had fell! But, oh! too much Indulgence makes us mourn, And sighs, instead of Joy, our Bosoms swell. Thus Mercy freely given is abus'd, And Pardon'd Rebels for Sham-Princes us'd. III. Weigh with your self the Fall of Absalom, Let His Example teach You to be wise; (He justly had a Rebels Martyrdom, And climb'd a Tree, 'cause he'd a mind to rise.) Just Heav'n in Thunder will with Vengeance come, And on your Head avenge your Treacheries. Think on the guiltless Blood you hourly spill, Where Brother Brother, Father Son does kill. IV. In vain (alas!) Rebellious Arms you use, In vain you mighty Preparations make, And but in vain our Monarch you abuse, And skulking round about poor Women take; In vain you your Rebellion would excuse, By saying 'tis for pure Religions sake. What your Religion is, I cannot tell, But Protestants (I'm sure) can ne're Rebell. V. Though
V. Though with your weak Pretences you delude, And bring in some who're Traytors in Despair, A wretched, hopeless, gaping Multitude, Whose desp'rate Souls know neither sonse nor care; Yet all in vain your Treasons are pursu'd, Your Stratagems but weak and feeble are; For the Almighty has his Angels spread, To guard our Sacred Lawful Monarchs Head. VI. What shew of Right, what Law can you pretend, To justifie this bold, this bloody Deed? What is't you'd have? wherefore do you contend, That thus you make the shaking Countrey bleed? Is this our Liberties? Are you our Friend? Dear Liberties, and a fast Friend indeed. Our Souls at Liberty you set; our Wives, Our Goods, and Children, perish with our Lives. VII. When on Ambitions Wings you first were tost, And the curst Faction did your mind invite, They spar'd no Time, no Labour, nor no cost, To puff you up with a supposed Right: But, 'cause you shou'd not in your Pride be lost, Your Royal Father clear'd your misted sight, Who (Wise as Just, and Powerful as Great) Declar'd you to be ILLEGITIMATE. VIII. And you deluded Souls that are engag'd In Arms against your Just and Lawful Prince, Consult the grounds on which this War is wag'd, Call back your Reason, and allarm your Sense, That this sad bloody Conflict be asswag'd, In which you ne're can hope for recompence. Ask God forgiveness, your wrong'd Sov'reign greet, And lay your Arms at His Imperial Feet. IX. Good God! that ever People thus should be Into such base, unnat'ral Wars betray'd, Under the old sham-tale of LIBERTY, Which at that very time they do invade, When we before had all things just and free, Nor any fear, or cause to be afraid: Now Treason, Murther, Rape, and Massacre, Must the blest Title of RELIGION bear. X. But if you will not now be wise in time, And choose Repentance e're it be late, May you with speed be punish'd for your Crime, And meet the scourge of your deserved Fate; And for your Head, who wou'd to Empire climb Upon the Ashes of a ruin'd State, Since neither Pardon, nor a Princes Love, Can the sweet Bait of Mighty Crowns remove, Let him unpity'd in a Dungeon lie, Till with Despair and Envy he shall die.
