With a Mass under's sleeve and a Covenant on it

From Sr. Gutts holy Tub of Uncircumsized Jews
From Gibbet and Halter which will be their dues.

From Knights that haunt Counters and Lunatick Members,

From Welch Repermanes which are something uncivil
From the touch of a Scot to cure the Kings Evil.

From those that wou'd set us together by the Ears
Who still for the Shipwrack of Monarchy steers

And disinheriting of York without why or wherefore
And from such as Absolon has been or more.

Deliver us good Lord let each true Subject sing.
