LOyal Hearts of London City, Come I pray and sing my Ditty, Of my Love thats from me gone, I am slighted and much spighted, And am left alone to mourn. Was not this a dreadful thing, To make a Plot against the King, And his Royal Brother too, I am vexed and perplexed, For my dear that prov'd untrue. A Hellish Plot there was contrived, And then at last they were devised, To make it known unto the King, How they had Plotted, and aLotted, A Murther then for to Kill him. But Shaftsbury and his wits confounded, That had my Jemmy so be-rounded, For to Conspire against his King, But God Direct and him Protect, That they may never Murther him. My Jemmy was a Subject Loyal, But now has prov'd himself Disloyal, Then she Cryed out amain; My Heart will break, for my Loves sake, Because he ne're will come again. Jemmy now is prov'd a Traytor, Tony and he were to sad Creatures, For to meddle so with things, That were too high proud Shaftsbury, For him to meddle so with Kings. Shaftsbury was wonderous witty, To Ruin three Nations, more's the pitty, Of it he was very shy, But he is fled and is since Dead, That did desturb true Monarchy.
Jemmy once was Loyal hearted, And would his Life soon apparted For his King and Nations good; He delighting all in Fighting, Made his peace wheree're he stood. Shaftsbury, he was a Rebbel, Unto the King he was uncivil, For all the Honour he did gain, The King he slighted and much spighted And so he did his Royal Train. Jemmy was a Foe to no Man, Till wheedl'd in by Shaftsbury, Till at last he was forc'd to fly, You know the Reason 'twas for Treason For desturbing Monarchy. The Horrid Plot that were then known, Then against the King and Crown, That makes my Heart to Bleed full sad, For to hear my only dear, Were lately grown so very bad. All my joys are gone and Blasted, I with grief am almost wasted For my Jemmy that's to me dear, Then from her Eyes with fresh Supplies, Down trickles many a Brackish Tear. God bless the King and his Royal Brother, And keep us from such horrid puther, That were Contriv'd by Shaftsbury, He was a Wretch fit for Jack Ketch; For desturbing of Monarchy. Now she ends her doleful story, Her Lamentation laid before ye, She Laments for her own Dear, Then from her eyes, with fresh supplies, Down Trickles many a brackish Tear.
