Wish upon Wish , or Dangerfields Lamentation .

Being a true relation , of a Discovery of all the Rogueries of Captain Dangerfield , who now is Close Prisoner in his Majestys Gaol of Newgate , for acting the D. of M. in several Countries in England .

To the Tune of , The Old Mans Wish . Was I once again out , I would never come here , Nor never transgress Against King with a sear : And all Rogueries shun , With a Curse to my fate , And ne're more concern With Church or with State . May I govern my self By an absolute sway , And grow wiser and better , Before I go away , Ambition and Faction I swear shall decay , Ambition and Faction I swear — shall decay A wooden Cravat I believe I shall wear , And after a Rope Will come to my share . But I 'le turn obedient To Prince and to State , And ne're again shams From malice create . May I govern , &c. If Tyburn I miss I will grow more wise , And to the three Nations Be fully precize , And will do all The good that I can , And will turn from a Knave To a true Loyal man . May I govern , &c. Wou'd my sins were accquitted , And liberty given , I 'd forsake all Fanaticks , And thank my good Heaven . But now 't is too late , My Roguery's known , In vain I do prate Now in Prison I 'm thrown . May I govern , &c. O curse on their guilt That made me to swear Against honest men , That alive I wish were : I 'd govern my hate With a plesant new look , And my malice abate , And not swear on a Book . May I govern &c. To take a mans life , Wrongfully away , It is a bad act , For to swear wrong , I say : But a Curse me attend That did swear to a lye , But now I am in hold , And afraid I shall dye . May I govern , &c. I wish I were dead , I shou'd suffer no more , But now at the last I must pay a long score . The Popish Plot is in Newgate , O there he is laid , There , or at Tyburn , He must dye , he 's afraid . May I govern , &c. But now my sufferings Is like unto Oates , With grief I am perplext , And am quite out of sorts . No M—th , no , no , No more i le disguise , The Cloak , and the Star I le leave off and be wise . May I govern , &c.
