THe World is ungrateful the People deceitful, Ambition and Pride our first Parents did choak it leads to high places as Slip'ry as Glasses, Their gilded pretences all vanish like smoak; Their fatal delusion Brought me to confusion I fall by those Powers I did justly provoke. Those Men of Sedition that nurst my Ambition And sooth'd up my Fancy with hopes of a Crown their fates are depending: and must have an Ending,
'Tis they ruin'd me and my former renown Seducers of Reason Made me commit Treason For which on the Block I lay my head down. My Grief I discover For those I brought over, And those in this Land I seduc'd to the Sin true Churchmen deni'd me the Gentry defy[']d me, With none but the Factious I favor did win this sorrowful sentence brings me to Repentance Unfortunate Monmouth this Act to begin.

THus my Allegiance was all disobedience the King of the West in those Parts they me call, Each Village and City was spoil'd without Pitty, The Kings better Subjects I brought into Thrall: But now such vile doing hath caused my ruin My Pride and Ambition must now have a Fall. The popular Bable and noise of the Rabble, It pleas'd me at first and did Nourish the Vice Pride and Vain-Glory did furnish the Story And gave to my after proceedings the Rise while that I did aspire t' fly higher and higher, Like th' generous Bird I was snar'd in a trice. All did me admire naught I could require, But the Royal Bounty did freely allow was of Royal standing had all at commanding And men of the highest Ranck to me did bow but Iv'e taken ill measures and lost all those Treasures Poor Monmouth's thy Case is alter'd now. Ambition can't borrow One day, e're tomorrow Poor Monmouth must lye in the silent dark Grave: let his sad conclusion be Traytors Confusion And dash them to Pieces as Rocks do the Waves. take warning you Traytors and all you Crown Haitors Your cunning designs your Heads shall not save.
