  Jack Shallow, Sim. Swallow,
  Will. Weeks, and Tom. Tallow,
Nine were for Traytors found, the next in courſe will follow.
They Plotted, and Lotted, and Sotted, and Voted,
And never will have done, till all the Tribe’s promoted.

5
  Theſe on their Tryal
  Wou’d all be Loyal,
Altho’ the Royal Race they ſtudy'd to deſtroy all.
  Their Falſe Hearts ſounded,
  The reſt Confounded;
Guilt flying in their Face, for the Fact, abſconded.
  Both Richard the Bitcher,
  And William the Letcher,
Whilſt Thumb, & Dick, ^ Tom are left behind to ſtretch for’t.
They Plotted, and Lotted, and Sotted, and Voted,
And in good time we hope will likewiſe be promoted.

6
  Toney that ſcented,
  And firſt invented
This Holy Covenant, was the firſt abſented.
  Of all forſaken,
  To ſave his Bacon,
He into Whigland crawls, but was overtaken.
  The Starter’s a Martyr,
  Death gives no quarter,
Whilſt Walcot and the reſt were by the head cut ſhorter.
They Plotted and Lotted, and Sotted, and Voted,
And never will have done till their heads are all promoted.

7
  Ruſſel did try for’t,
  Sidney did die for’t,
While Rumbold, Gray & Tom, with the reſt did flie for’t:
  For all their Teaching,
  Ferguſon’s Preaching,
His Head’s upon a Pole, and his Quarters Bleaching:
  The Starter’s a Martyr,
  The Squire gives no Quarter,
