<HEAD>The WILL.</HEAD>
<LG>
<L>Unto my Heir I Crown and Scepter leave,</L>
<L>And my Tyrannick Actions do bequeath</L>
<L>To him, that he may ne'er delight in Peace,</L>
<L>But daily Wars and Rumours may increa&s;e;</L>
<L>That he his Subjects may oppre&s;s with Fear,</L>
<L>And all the Hereticks in pieces tear:</L>
<L>And when has laid his Kingdom all in gore,</L>
<L>Be hurried hence unto the Stygian &s;hore,</L>
<L>And there enjoy me, who am gone before.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>To <HI>Jemmy</HI> I bequeath a Prince of <HI>Wales;</HI></L>
<L>And would another, but my Vigour fails:</L>
<L>But hope my Son and Heir &s;o kindly prove,</L>
<L>To dandle <HI>Molly</HI> in the Charms of Love.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>My Subject's Cur&s;es to the Pope I leave;</L>
<L>And thus my Worldly Goods I do bequeath.</L>
<L>My &s;tinking Tomb an Epitaph needs none,</L>
<L>Since Soul and Body to the Devil's gone.</L>
