Sr. Thomas Armstrongs Last Farewell to the WORLD : He being Condemned for HIGH-TREASON , and Conspiring the Death of the KING and the DUKE , and subverting the Government of these three Kingdoms A SONG . To the Tune STATE and AMBITION A Due to the pleasure of murther and whoring , Of plotting conspiring the death of a King : Con●ound the temptation of Bastard Adoring , For which I con●ess I deserve for to Swing . Poor Monmouth may Curse me , 't was I over Ruled In all his Intreagues by Tony's black spell , His timerous contrivance I constantly Schooled ; And told him how safe it was then to rebell . I shew'd him the glimps of a Crown and a Scepter , The strength of the Crow'd , and applause of the Town Till glory did dazle his Soul in a Rapture ; That all things inferior appear'd but a Crown : Then I was in hopes to be second Assistant ; Therefore to unKing him our party would bring : But now a● the Devil wou'd have it I mist on 't , For which I before the damn'd Doctor must swing . The Doctor confused three parts of the Nation ; He murthered thirty ; I murthered but two , With long sword and Codpiss I made it the fashion Rogues Whores to advance , and the Kingdom subdue : Brave Monmouth I shew'd him all ways of debauching , And ne'r let him want procurer nor Whore ; Some Aldermens Wives they were proud to approach him , I often as Grey have stood Pimp at the door . Nay , many were sure , that their souls would be sainted Had they but one hour his sweet grace to enjoy ▪ How oft in my Arms they have sighed and panted , Untill I conveyed 'em to their Princely Boy ▪ But now all those pleasures are faded with glory , His Grace in Disgrace and Tom is Condemn'd ; Jack Ketch now looks sharp for to shorten my story , And leaves me no time to murder or mend . Yet I must confess , I was oft Monmouths taster , For fear , least some fire-ship might blow up her Prince , Which caused our party to flock in much faster , All Officers from the Plot Office advance . Old Tony took Care too , that nothing was wanting , In Wapping , the Square , and Algers-gate-street , I brought in Bess Mackrel , to help out the taping , And Tony swore damn him , there s nothing so sweet . Sweet Betty farewell , 't was for thee I abiured , My Lady and Children , this fourteen long years ; They always were kind , but I still was obdured , Seeking the Destruction of King , Church , & Peers Had I Grey and Mellvin now here to condole with And their Recommendations to' th' Cabals below — , I might have Commissions in Hell to controle with But sure I shall find some Friends where I go .
