The description of GILES MOMPESSON late Knight censured by Parliament The 17th of March . A⁰. j620 .

This craftie GILES through faire & false pretences Committinge , for redressinge foule offences From Tapsters tubs , from Innes moist droppinge quill And other crafts , with Coyne his cofers fills For greedie gaine hee thrust the weake to wall , And thereby gotte himselfe the divell and all , His name MO-EMPSONS Annagrame doth mak And Empsons courses also did hee take ; Oppression sore hee vsed where hee went As yet not thinkinge of a Parliament

Your signe shall downe for 〈◊〉

The Patent for Innes

But Parliament once call'd then Giles was brought Vnto account , contrary to his thought : There to the Serjeants ward hee was committed , Which made him much to feare , hee should be fitted For all those former wrongs , that hee had done ; Which from his keeper made him here to runne ; Hee outlawde therefore was and bannish't quite And also judg'd to be no more a Knight : Not only so but jnfamous inroul'd , Although ( before ) hee Iustice seat controul'd .

Shrift for thy selfe

Nowe beinge censur'd bannished and gone , With pensive speech , thus may hee mourne alone ; Woe worthe the time when first on Innes I thought For private gaines when I their hindrance sought ; Those Monopolies cursed bee with shame , Which have my reputation thus made lame : My Honours which hath turn'd to other styles From Sr. Mompesson vnto poore lame Giles ; Yett haultinge nowe before , me thinks I see Some in the way of haultinge after mee .

Hoe fellowe Giles stay for us yett a while For heere wee come , although behinde a mile .

In ●i●st ●ea●● of Kings Henry list By Parliament to death 〈◊〉 ●●st .

All you which Monopolies seeke for gaines , And faire pretences turne to other straines ; Example take by Giles Mompessons fall , Least honie sweet soone turne to bitter gall . Which to prevent , see that you vndertake None other thinge , but such as sure may make A benefite to common wealth and Kinge ; Which will you wealth and honour also bringe . For why you knowe , our gracious Kinge is bent To give his faithfull subiects all content ; Where love is dive , hee lovingly doth show 't , Where mercies meete by pardon many know 't , By rendringe Iustice vnto great and small , The smale ones trippe & great ones downe right fall , Oh what more needs a Loyall Subiect crave Then mercy , love , and justice choice to have .
