THE Lord RUSSELS Last Farewel to the World . A SONG .

FArewel , farewel to Mortal Powers , and fond Ambitious Fools ; Now guiltless Blood requireth ours , from Providence that Rules . Farewel to Monmouth , Horned Grey , who are from Justice fled ; And left me to this fatal Day , to loose my Plotting Head . II. Of all the Lords of our Cabals , I am the first that Dyes By th' hand of Justice , which foretells a Counter Sacrifice ; That Blazing-Star at Stafford's Death , foretold a fatal Change : Now I declare , with my last breath , it is but just Revenge . III. Farewel to our late Parliaments , which made Three Kingdoms shake ; Our Lawless Votes ( my Soul torments ) was for Rebellions sake : Th' Exclusive Bill I did promote with vigour , spleen , and power ; Thereby to cut a Monarchs Throat , that caus'd this Bleeding Hour . IV. The best of Kings I sought to Kill , and draw'd in Thousands more : Who neither wanted Wealth nor Will , and Traytors long before : Besides the Peasants and the poor , for Insurrection bent ; To lay the Kingdom all in gore , to please a Parliament . V. We neither feared Law nor Right , Prerogative nor Fate ; Impeached Queen and Duke for spight , to make the King afraid : We thought he durst not call to count our great Conspiring Heads ; But now like me they all must mount , and fall into the Shades . VI. If we had Hang'd Tony and Tom , when first the Plot begun ; Then I to this had never come , nor James from Justice run : Denying of the Plot 's in vain , since Essex cut 's own Throat ; Both Rouse and Walcot owns the same , and all the rest must do 't . VII . For my Confession I commit toth ' Groaning-Board's Divine ; 'T is his desire to Word it fit , I hope for no Design ; If Whiggish Cant , he puts upon 't , with 'quivocating Shamms ; Then score him up , on our account , his Libel to the Flames . Finis .
