A Song of the New Plot.
To the Tune of, Jones Placket is torn, etc.
|
1.
|
HAve you not lately heard
|
of Lords sent to the Tower,
|
Who 'gainst the Popish Plotters,
|
seem'd men of chiefest power:
|
But now they're got, into the Plot,
|
and all their power in vain,
|
For the Plot is rent and torn,
|
and will never be mended again.
|
'Tis rent and torn, and torn and rent,
|
and rent and torn in twain,
|
For the Plot is rent and torn,
|
and will never be mended again.
|
2.
|
Fitz-Harris they suppos'd
|
a fitting Instrument,
|
The Duke, and Queen, and King
|
himself to circumvent:
|
But now he's hang'd, and all his Gang
|
will follow the same strain,
|
For the Plot is rent and torn,
|
and will never be mended again, etc.
|
3.
|
The Joyner he is going
|
to Oxford to be Try'd,
|
Where he will find a Jury,
|
who are not Whiggify'd:
|
And for his Joyning in the Plot,
|
a Halter he will gain,
|
For the Plot is rent and torn,
|
and will never be mended again, etc.
|
4.
|
They say that Mr. Dugdale,
|
so honest and so true,
|
Is one of the King's Evidence,
|
against this wicked Crew:
|
And now they aim, him to defame,
|
but all will be in vain,
|
For the Plot is rent and torn,
|
and will never be mended again, etc.
|
As Colledge
|
declar'd in
|
my Lord
|
Staffords
|
Tryal.
|
5.
|
The crafty Sh------y,
|
is caught in his own Snare,
|
H' has hired many Rogues,
|
themselves for to forswear:
|
And now undone, with Hetherington,
|
and all his hired Train,
|
For the Plot is rent and torn,
|
and will never be mended again, etc.
|
6.
|
Thus Innocence we see
|
begins for to appear,
|
Since Rogues for want of Pardons,
|
the Truth are fain to swear:
|
Had it been so, some years ago,
|
we'd hit on the right vein,
|
For the Plot is rent and torn,
|
and will never be mended again, etc.
|
The Duke
|
and Queen
|
falsly accu-
|
sed by
|
Fitz-Haris.
