The GHOST of TOM ROSS To his Pupil the D. of Monmouth . Shame of my Life , Disturber of my Tomb , Base as thy Mothers Prostituted Womb ; Hussing to Cowards , sawning to the Brave , To Knaves a Fool , to credulous Fools a Knave , The King's Betrayer , and the Peoples Slave . Like Samuel at the Necromantick Call , I rise to tell thee , God has left thee SAUL ; I strive in vain thy Infected Blood to cure , Streams will run muddy where the Spring 's Impure . In all Your meritorious Life we see Old TAFF'S invincible Sobriety . Places of the Master of the Horse , and Spy , You ( like Tom Howard ) did at once supply : From SYDNEY's Blood Your Loyalty did spring ; You shew us all your Fathers but the KING , From whose too tender and too bounteous arm 's , ( Unhappy He who such a Viper warms ; As Dutiful a Subject , as a Son , ) To Your tre Parents the whole Town you run Read if you can , how th' old Apostate fell , Out-do his Pride , and Merit more than Hell : Both He and You were gloriously bright , The First and Purest of the Sons of Light : But when like Him you offer'd at the Crown , Like Him , your angry Father kickt you down . FINIS .
