Treason Unmasqued,
OR
Truth brought to Light,
TO A PLEASANT NEW TUNE, etc.
When Loyalty depressed lay,
And the dark Night took place of Day;
When deep Caballs, took place of State
And States-men sought to ruin State,
Then Englands Genious, did disclose
Where Treason lurkd, and shewd its Foes.
|
NOw at last the Riddle is Expounded,
|
Which so long the Nation has Confounded,
|
For the Round-head;
|
Begins the Game agen,
|
Which so well, they playd in Forty Four
|
And in greater hope:
|
That the Damnd Sham-PLOT, will nere be oer
|
Till Piously they routed King and Pope.
|
Shaftsbury, that Worm of Reformation
|
Who for Common-wealth has layd Foundation;
|
Which the Nation,
|
So hotly do pursue:
|
Is justly now rewarded in the Tower,
|
For his Merrits due,
|
But when his busy head, is once layd lower
|
Then will appear the Plots he did pursue.
|
Perkin, makes fine Leggs to th shouting Rabble,
|
Who to make him King, he thinks are Able
|
But the Bauble,
|
Is only chose for Use;
|
The silly Idiot, serves but for a Tool still
|
For Knaves to work their Feats:
|
And remains a dull inciped Fool still,
|
For all their Damnd Caballs, and Wapping Treats.
|
The most zealous Parliament Denoted,
|
Who for publick good Devoutly Voted,
|
Pray note it,
|
That the Duke shall nere be King;
|
And like Faithfull honest Loyal Subjects,
|
His Majesty Implore:
|
To Signe their Godly and Religious projects,
|
Or else the threatned King shall Reign no more.
