1. HAve you not lately heard of Lords sent to the Tower, Who 'gainst the Popish Plotters, seem'd men of chiefest power: But now they're got, into the Plot, and all their power in vain, For the Plot is rent and torn, and will never be mended again. 'Tis rent and torn, and torn and rent, and rent and torn in twain, For the Plot is rent and torn, and will never be mended again. H----d and S------y. 2. Fitz-Harris they suppos'd a fitting Instrument, The Duke, and Queen, and King himself to circumvent: But now he's hang'd, and all his Gang will follow the same strain, For the Plot is rent and torn, and will never be mended again, etc. 3. The Joyner he is going to Oxford to be Try'd, Where he will find a Jury, who are not Whiggify'd: And for his Joyning in the Plot, a Halter he will gain, For the Plot is rent and torn, and will never be mended again, etc. 4. They say that Mr. Dugdale, so honest and so true, Is one of the King's Evidence, against this wicked Crew: And now they aim, him to defame, but all will be in vain, For the Plot is rent and torn, and will never be mended again, etc. As Colledge declar'd in my Lord Staffords Tryal. 5. The crafty Sh------y, is caught in his own Snare, H' has hired many Rogues, themselves for to forswear: And now undone, with Hetherington, and all his hired Train, For the Plot is rent and torn, and will never be mended again, etc.
6. Thus Innocence we see begins for to appear, Since Rogues for want of Pardons, the Truth are fain to swear: Had it been so, some years ago, we'd hit on the right vein, For the Plot is rent and torn, and will never be mended again, etc. The Duke and Queen falsly accu- sed by Fitz-Haris.
