<L>LEt all bold Traytors here come take a view,</L>
<L>How antient <HI>Tiburn</HI> doth receive its due:</L>
<L>Their dark de&s;igns, and hidden Treachery,</L>
<L>Will bring them all unto the tripple Tree.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Here <HI>Coleman,</HI> their King leader of great fame,</L>
<L>Hath brought him&s;elf unto his end with &s;hame:</L>
<L>By &s;triving to be great before his time,</L>
<L>He became guilty of a Horrid Crime.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ambition is a bait the Devil lays,</L>
<L>To catch &s;uch haughty Spirits now adays:</L>
<L>And when that he hath caught them in the Tray,</L>
<L>He gives them o're to ruine and mi&s;hap.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Too many are concerned in this thing,</L>
<L>Again&s;t Religion, and our gracious King:</L>
<L>But I &s;hall now, the world to &s;atisfie,</L>
<L>Tell how this grand offender came to dye.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Pri&s;oner bring brought to <HI>VVe&s;tmin&s;ter,</HI></L>
<L>And there in Court, Indicted at the Bar:</L>
<L>His Crimes were all laid open unto view,</L>
<L>As horrid things, as ever Chri&s;tian knew.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>How that he did contrive a fearful thing,</L>
<L>For to de&s;troy our Soveraign Lord the King:</L>
<L>To change the fundamental Laws o'th Land</L>
<L>As by the Sequel you &s;hall under&s;tand.</L>

<L>To bring in Popery with all his might,</L>
<L>And true Religion for to bani&s;h quite:</L>
<L>With Fire and Sword, for to de&s;troy and burn,</L>
<L>True Prote&s;tants, or force them for to turn.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Evidence again&s;t him did appear,</L>
<L>And prov'd the accu&s;ation to be clear:</L>
<L>His <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 word"> Eva&s;ions could not &s;atisfie,</L>
<L>The truth was as apparent as the sky.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Tryal la&s;ted for eight hours at lea&s;t,</L>
<L>Where multitudes of people throng'd and pre&s;t:</L>
<L>Before my Lord Chief Iu&s;tice he was try'd,</L>
<L>And many other Learned men be&s;ide.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>At length the Iury in their verdict brought,</L>
<L>And in the Court declared as they ought:</L>
<L>The Pri&s;oner of High Trea&s;on guilty was,</L>
<L>But being night, no Sentence then did pa&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Next morning he was brought unto the bar,</L>
<L>Where Sentence did proceed on him &s;o far:</L>
<L>That he &s;hould drawn, &amp; Hang'd, &amp; quartered be,</L>
<L>For this his Trea&s;on, and his Treachery.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This was his fact and his &s;ad fatal doom,</L>
<L>He gain'd by being an Agent for <HI>Rome:</HI></L>
<L>I wi&s;h that all their factors which they &s;end,</L>
<L>May come like him, to an untimely end.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For why they are of a malicious mind,</L>
<L>And unto blood and cruelty inclin'd:</L>
<L>They &s;trive to bring to ruine a whole Land,</L>
<L>And make tho&s;e fall, whom God ordains to &s;tand.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But yet the Lord can fru&s;trate their intent,</L>
<L>Although they daily are on mi&s;chief bent:</L>
<L>In his good time he will their Plots di&s;clo&s;e,</L>
<L>That Iu&s;tice may take place on &s;uch as tho&s;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If that we &s;erve our Maker as we ought,</L>
<L>He their contrivances will bring to naught:</L>
<L>That we may &s;ee the &s;ad and di&s;mal fall,</L>
<L>Of &s;uch as would bring ruine to us all.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But now is come his Execution day,</L>
<L>Where people &s;lockt to hear what he would &s;ay:</L>
<L>Where for his Love and Favour to the Pope,</L>
<L><HI>Iack Katch</HI> did fit him with a Hempon Rope.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>His Quarters on the Gates they do expo&s;e,</L>
<L>To be a Terrour to the Kingdoms Foes:</L>
<L>That Traitours may example take thereby,</L>
<L>Lea&s;t that they come to endle&s;s mi&s;ery.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then let all Loyal Subjects have a care,</L>
<L>They be not drawn into the Popi&s;h &s;nare,</L>
<L>And &s;o God ble&s;s our King and Parliament,</L>
<L>And grant that of our &s;ins we may repent.</L>
