WHil'st with hot Scent, the Popish-Tory Crew A Presbiterian Sham-plot do pursue, Behold a New and true Plot of their own, Against a worthy persons Life made known. Blood after blood for God's fresh Vengeance Calls, Now Monmouth's friend a second Victim falls, The bloody Villains Skill'd ith' Murtherous sin, Sr. Godfrys Murther new Act or'e ag'in: And now the shammers must together Plot, To make the world think Thynn himself hath shot. What was his Crime that thus they fought his Life? Was it because deceived by a wife? Or was't because that he was Monmouth's friend, He found so fatal and so sad an end? In former times such Murthers Scarce were Known, Are we Barbarians or fierce Scythians grown? What Impious Acts are minted in our Age? What tragick sceens are brought upon the stage? What e're the Heathen did we now can do, And tho we'are Christians call'd Surpass them too. In the last end o'th' Iron Age we live, A Brother won't a Brother now forgive: But for some slight affront or weak offence, With Sword or Pistol he is hurried hence. These Murtherous Arts by Jesuites hither brought, With their Religion they in secret taught: For Murthers they have their Commission given, And Killing is one Gate that leads to Heaven We may believe it, as we do our Creed, None but some hired Papists did this deed. A deed so horrid barbarous and Vile, That it will leave a blot upon our Isle, Which will a spot for our whole Age remain, Unless Strict Vengeance wipe away the stain. Th'Embassador whom we Barbarian call, When to his Barbarous Prince return he shall, Amongst our Crimes with horror will relate, This Murther Acted neer the Palace Gate, And to his Prince Maliciously will say, Christians can Murthers Act as well as they. Hard was the Fate of this most worthy Man, Whom first a wicked woman did Trepan. And now more hard, if that he lost his Life, By Murtherous means of his disloyal Wife. But God that sees, and knowes the Hearts of all, Will soon on guilty Heads let Vengeance fall. And those black Instruments now lay'd in hold, Shall all the Truth of this black Deed unfold. Where Justice Runs down like an unstop'd Flood, It soon will wash away the stains of Blood. The Murther'd's Friends therefore on Justice cry, And to its sacred Throne together fly;
That Vengeance may both great and small pursue, O're take the Hirers and the hired too; Both those who the damn'd hire for Blood receive, And those who to be damn'd their money give: For if strict Vengeance on such be not ta'ne, Our Laws for Murther will be made in Vain; So impious and so vile now Men are grown, As never in our Age before was known; Who cann't but go or Ride the Streets in fear, When we have Bravo's and Banditti here? Tories who here have shown their Murtherous Skill, And know the way as well as they to kill. Under our English Cloth Men must wear Buff, A Coat of Mail, or Armor Pistol-Proof; For fear of some revenge from Jilting drabs, Or else for Friendship or Religion stabs; Poison, or Bullet, fraud, or Force they take, Both for reveng and for Religion's sake, Justice will Visit when the Murther's past, And overtake the Criminals at last. And such black deeds ly open to God's sight, Who will the Murtherous Plots bring forth to light, Then worthy Thyn we shall more surely know, Who was thy Barbarous Bloody secret foe, When to the Bottom of this Plot we see, And if the Villains only aim'd at thee. Rest now thy soul in peace, whilst our good King Your bloody Murtherers to Justice bring, Whilst the Scar'd People on thy death debate, And all thy Friends bewail thy sudden Fate: Whilst the good Duke bewails with Tears his friend Afflicted to behold his sudden end. But let all Loyal Hearts to Heaven pay, Their Thanks that Monmouth did no longer stay, That Providence who over him takes Care Had him diverted then from being there. Who Knows what bloody Ruffians did intend, They might Perhaps have yet a further end, Revenge might reach both to the Duke and's friend, But Heaven will hear for him the Peoples prayer, And of that Noble Prince his Life take care That he may still secure and safely go, And all the plots of Papists overthrow. May Heav'n preserve the King that he may run A Long long race, and for his sake his Son, May the Almighty Keep the good Dukes Life From Hellish Plots, from Popish Gun or Knife. And let himself warn'd, now more watchful be Left that he fall into like Jeopardie. O Heaven preserve him from a bloody end, And let him take a warning by his Friend.
