<HEAD>Have among&s;t you my Ma&s;ters.</HEAD>
<LG>
<L>GIve eare, give eare, unto my Ditty,</L>
<L>All you good people love this City;</L>
<L>'Tis high time you repent.</L>
<L>For if th'offended Army come</L>
<L>This City will be quite undone:</L>
<L>Your ca&s;es I lament.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When you your out-works &s;hould defend,</L>
<L>Some Villaine whom you think your friend</L>
<L>May &s;et the Towne on fire.</L>
<L>Then will they &s;traight to plunder fall,</L>
<L>And in an in&s;tant rob you all:</L>
<L>Then they have their de&s;ire.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If once the Army doe appeare</L>
<L>Within ten miles, they come too neare,</L>
<L>They have &s;o many friends.</L>
<L>Send all they call for, with new Ropes</L>
<L>About their necks; there may be hopes</L>
<L>That may make &s;ome amends.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For thus much from me under&s;tand,</L>
<L>What e're they aske they may command;</L>
<L>Take heed you doe not dally.</L>
<L>If they &s;hall finde with them you halt,</L>
<L>And take you tripping in a fault,</L>
<L>You'll pay deare for your folly.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Make ready tho&s;e who laid the plot</L>
<L>(Who e're they were) to call the <HI>Scot.</HI></L>
<L>They have undone the Nation:</L>
<L>Then make the Synod ready next,</L>
<L>Who have &s;o much abus'd the Text</L>
<L>For th' Churches Reformation.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>To bring the <HI>Scotch Presbytery</HI> in,</L>
<L>They with Rebellion did begin,</L>
<L>Then preacht the Myter downe.</L>
<L>The&s;e new Popes thought they could di&s;pence</L>
<L>With Trea&s;on or the like offence;</L>
<L>E&s;pecially their owne.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Or el&s;e (methinks) they dur&s;t not &s;ure</L>
<L>The King, and Bi&s;hops both abjure</L>
<L>When they the Covenant took.</L>
<L>Though many oathes they all have taken,</L>
<L>By this they have the King for&s;aken,</L>
<L>If they be pleas'd to look.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Next bring in tho&s;e who did devi&s;e</L>
<L>Your Seque&s;trations, and Excize;</L>
<L>Downe with their Gold&s;miths Hall,</L>
<L>Or rather hell, for none comes there,</L>
<L>But he him&s;elfe mu&s;t fir&s;t for&s;weare;</L>
<L>And that's the wor&s;t of all.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Be&s;ides he mu&s;t him&s;elfe confe&s;&s;e</L>
<L>A grand Malignant, that's no le&s;&s;e</L>
<L>Then Traitor in their &s;ence:</L>
<L>And make him&s;elfe a Traitor, more</L>
<L>Then ever he was yet before,</L>
<L>By a farre wor&s;e offence.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He mu&s;t u&s;e their forg'd Seale e're he</L>
<L>From their Committees can be free:</L>
<L>That's Trea&s;on Paramount.</L>
<L>This favour they to us afford.</L>
<L>To make us Traytors on Record,</L>
<L>And in the Lawes accompt.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But oh! tho&s;e &s;ubtile men mu&s;t not</L>
<L>(Above all others) be forgot,</L>
<L>We Jewes of <HI>Malta</HI> call;</L>
<L>Who lately have a new trick found,</L>
<L>To make men for their owne compound.</L>
<L>The&s;e get the Devill and all.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The State we know it lately hath</L>
<L>Borrowed too much on publique Faith;</L>
<L>The&s;e jugling Jewes they &s;ay,</L>
<L>By Ordinance of Parliament</L>
<L>Get three&s;core pounds at lea&s;t <HI>per cent.</HI></L>
<L>And they have pre&s;ent pay.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Th' abu&s;ed who the money lent,</L>
<L>Are with this great lo&s;&s;e well content</L>
<L>They may &s;ome part &s;ecure:</L>
<L>Thus are their private Stocks imploy'd,</L>
<L>And all their Creditors de&s;troy'd,</L>
<L>By tho&s;e their Loans en&s;ure.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Brave Souldiers couple the&s;e together</L>
<L>Like Hell-hounds, and then &s;end them hither;</L>
<L>Try them but in the Tower.</L>
<L>Let brave Judge <HI>Jenkins</HI> give them Law,</L>
<L>And hone&s;t <HI>Will&punc;</HI> th' Inditements draw,</L>
<L>They 'll di&s;patch in an houre.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Yet I dare &s;weare that they &s;hould finde</L>
<L>Ith' good old Judge a noble minde,</L>
<L>And &s;hould more ju&s;tice have</L>
<L>With mercy and with judgement mixt,</L>
<L>(For &s;o true Ju&s;tice &s;hould be fixt)</L>
<L>Then ever yet they gave.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If th' Army doe their Soveraigne owne,</L>
<L>And &s;hall re&s;tore him to his Crowne,</L>
<L>'Twill be a glorious thing.</L>
<L>Though in their hearts the Prophets ly'd,</L>
<L>It will prove true they prophecy'd</L>
<L>Hee'll be a glorious King.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thou wilt de&s;erve immortall glory,</L>
<L>And famous be in every &s;tory,</L>
<L>If this be done by thee.</L>
<L>Though th' Engli&s;h were well-neere as bold,</L>
<L>As the Scots were their Soveraigne &s;old,</L>
<L><HI>Fairfax</HI> will glorious be.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Wee'll Bonefires make, our Bells &s;hall ring,</L>
<L>Our Children &s;hall thy prai&s;es &s;ing;</L>
<L>I hope that day to &s;ee,</L>
<L>That we who now thy Pri&s;oners are,</L>
<L>Shall have in thee &s;o great a &s;hare,</L>
<L>To love and honour thee.</L>
