THE Hang-Man's Lamentation ; OR , THE Chancellour's Farewel . HAve at the Blind Harper's , for once let us try , To Sing a Poor Chancellor's Sad Destiny , Bewayl'd by Three Kingdoms , without one wet Eye . Then Farewel Jeff — s , Old Boy Jeff — s , Ever and ever Farewel . With Popery and Slavery , he Thriv'd Cock-a-hoop ; But when Right , Law , and Gospel , began to Look Up , He got a Consumption , and dy'd of a Droop . Then Farewel , &c. To Die neither Satan , nor Belzebub's Debtors ; Some say he 's but gon to Visit his Betters ; And to take up a Lodging for Old Father Letre's . Then Farewel , &c. Yes , the Chancellour's Dead ▪ and would ye know why ? His Boys in the West , like Goblins stood by ; And with Bloody Pitch-forks , kill'd him Dead in the Eye . Then Farewel , &c. The Ghosts of his Martyrs , they made such a Stir there , That Great Russel's Ghost , and Cornish's Murther , E'en frighted his Soul , to the Devil and further . Then Farewel , &c. The sad Thought of Hemp , pierc'd him thoro' and thoro' , And to tell you the Truth , in meer Grief and Sorrow ; He e'en Died to Day , to save Hanging to Morrow . Then Farewel , &c. This Hector that once cou'd Roar , Swagger , and Bristle , Our great Son of Thunder's , gon out like a Fizle ; And bids both the Sheriffs , and Hangman go Whistle , Then Farewel , &c. But to march off so sneaking , in troth was fowl play , For his good Friends of Holbourn , as all People say , Complain he has lost them a whole Holy-Day . Then Farewel Jeff — s , Old Boy Jeff — s , Ever and ever Farewel .
