NOw at last the Riddle is Expounded, Which so long the Nation has Confounded, For the Round-head; Begins the Game agen, Which so well, they play'd in Forty Four And in greater hope: That the Damn'd Sham-PLOT, will ne're be o'er Till Piously they routed King and Pope. Shaftsbury, that Worm of Reformation Who for Common-wealth has lay'd Foundation; Which the Nation, So hotly do pursue: Is justly now rewarded in the Tower, For his Merrits due, But when his busy head, is once lay'd lower Then will appear the Plots he did pursue. Perkin, makes fine Leggs toth' shouting Rabble, Who to make him King, he thinks are Able But the Bauble, Is only chose for Use; The silly Idiot, serves but for a Tool still For Knaves to work their Feats: And remains a dull inciped Fool still, For all their Damn'd Caballs, and Wapping Treats. The most zealous Parliament Denoted, Who for publick good Devoutly Voted, Pray note it, That the Duke shall ne're be King; And like Faithfull honest Loyal Subjects, His Majesty Implore: To Signe their Godly and Religious projects, Or else the threatned King shall Reign no more.
