<HEAD>A Loyal Subjects Admonition, or, a true Song of <HI>Brittains Civil Wars.</HI></HEAD>
<ARGUMENT>
<L>Some with blind zeal, Religion did profe&s;&s;e,</L>
<L>Murder'd their lawful King, oh wickedne&s;&s;e</L>
<L>Scripture nor Chronicle they could not bring,</L>
<L>To &s;hew what &s;ubjects ever judged their King.</L>
<L>King Charls beheaded was wee under&s;tand,</L>
<L>Proud Rebels they did live upon his Land,</L>
<L>But now the&s;e Rebels are di&s;per&s;t and gone,</L>
<L>Few hone&s;t men I think for them make moan.</L>
<L>If any man be angry at this Song,</L>
<L>What e're he thinks hee'd be&s;t to hold his tongue.</L>
</ARGUMENT>
<OPENER>To the Tune of General Moncks right march, that was &s;ounded before him from Scotland to London, or the Highlanders march.</OPENER>
<LG>
<L>GReat controver&s;ie hath b&eacute;en in <HI>England,</HI></L>
<L>but of y^e ju&s;t cau&s;e there is few men do know,</L>
<L>Rebellion for certain, as I under&s;tand,</L>
<L>hath be&aacute;en the fore-runner of &s;orrow and woe,</L>
<L>For every Presbyter,</L>
<L>Struck at the Myter,</L>
<L>Till they had gotten the world in a &s;ting,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>but Monck hath confounded,</HI></L>
<L><HI>each prick-eard round-head,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Now let's be Loyal and true to our King,</HI></L>

<L>The <HI>Scots</HI> did adventure at fir&s;t to Rebel</L>
<L>And <HI>Engli&s;hmen</HI> quickly this Le&s;&s;on did learn,</L>
<L>But <HI>Lucifer</HI> tumbled from Heaven to Hell,</L>
<L>becau&s;e his ambition he would not di&s;cern,</L>
<L>And therefore be wary,</L>
<L>le&s;t he en&s;nare ye,</L>
<L>That count Rebellion a plau&s;ible thing,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>but Monck hath confounded,</HI></L>
<L><HI>each prick-eard round-head,</HI></L>

<L>The City of <HI>London</HI> was zealous and hot,</L>
<L>to mannage the cau&s;e of the <HI>Scots</HI> government</L>
<L>For ten thou&s;and &s;ouldiers they rai&s;ed I wot;</L>
<L>to go a King catching it was their intent;</L>
<L>rich they would make him,</L>
<L>if they could take him,</L>
<L>Such fair pretences through <HI>Britain</HI> did ring,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>But Monck hath confounned,</HI></L>
<L><HI>each prick-eard round-head,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Now let's be Loyal and true to our King.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Much like a Partridge the King they did cha&s;e,</L>
<L>from mountain to mountain they did him pur&s;ue</L>
<L>They quickly di&s;per&s;ed all the Royall race,</L>
<L>with their Loyal &s;ubjects, the&s;e Ver&s;es are true,</L>
<L>then any Lay-man,</L>
<L>Brewer or Dray-man,</L>
<L>Could make a Throne or a Pulpit to ring,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>but Monck hath confounded,</HI></L>
<L><HI>each prick-eard round-head,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Now let's be Loyal and true to our King.</HI></L>

<L>WHen with their ba&s;e power they'd con|quered his friends</L>
<L>they quickly &s;urpri&s;ed the Kings Maje&s;ty,</L>
<L>The&s;e zealots Religion, was for their own ends,</L>
<L>their Oath of Allegiance they then did defy</L>
<L>a Scaffold erected,</L>
<L>Murder effected;</L>
<L>Heathens ne'r acted &s;o horrid a thing,</L>

<L>But while the&s;e Rebells did thus tyrannize,</L>
<L>a terrible Governour quickly aro&s;e,</L>
<L>Although Kingly government they did de&s;pi&s;e,</L>
<L>'twas trea&s;on to meddle with <HI>Olivers</HI> No&s;e,</L>
<L>for he like a Hector,</L>
<L>was their Protector,</L>
<L>Rebells had &s;helter under his wing:</L>

<L>This Tyrants government la&s;ted too long,</L>
<L>for Rebels in <HI>England</HI> did dayly increa&s;e,</L>
<L>Yet none but poor Caval&eacute;ers &s;uffer'd wrong,</L>
<L>while every A&s;s was made Iu&s;tice of Peace,</L>
<L>and Cabys mu&s;t &s;tand &s;ir,</L>
<L>with Cap in hand &s;ir,</L>
<L>At their command &s;ir, in every thing:</L>

<L>Wor&s;hipfull <HI>Walton</HI> got <HI>Sommer&s;ome</HI> Park,</L>
<L>without any labor or taking of pains,</L>
<L>And <HI>Wag&s;taffe</HI> that Major was counted a Spark;</L>
<L>although he did live upon other mens means,</L>
<L>and <HI>Rainsborough</HI> nimble,</L>
<L>&s;leighted his Thimble,</L>
<L>When <HI>Higham</HI> Park &s;uch profit did bring,</L>

<L>The&s;e pittiful fellows are all put to flight,</L>
<L>which thought that their plea&s;ures would never ha' end</L>
<L>For they in ambition did take &s;uch delight,</L>
<L>there's many &s;uppo&s;es they'l be hang'd ere they'l mend</L>
<L>for they in their bravery,</L>
<L>acted &s;uch knavery,</L>
<L>Curbing true &s;ubjects in every thing,</L>
