THE Lord RUSSELS Farewel , Who was Beheaded for High-Treason , in Lincolns-Inn-Fields ' JVLY 21st . 1683. To the Tune of , Tender hearts of London City .

Paide the bane of humane creatures , will corrupt the best of natures , when it soars

to it s full height , who can stand it or command it , when the object is in sight ?

Reason is no more our jewel , When our dearest thoughts are cruel , all her Maxims are forgot : Else what reason , was for Treason , as this base inhumane Plot. Russel that injoy'd the treasure , Every way repleat with pleasure , had Alegience quite forgot : Hopes of ●●i●●ing did advise him , to this base inhumane Plot.
Who alas ! could he desire , That himself could not require , pride did only him besott ; To aspire to grow higher , By a base inhumane Plot. Safely might have liv'd for ever , In a gracious Princes favour , and more honour there have got : Then his thoughts what e're they wrought , By any base inhumane Plot. Those false hopes that did deceive him , With his nature will nht leave him , nor with his poor body rot : Whilst records , the world affords , his Treason ne'r will be forgot . Better be the Earl of Bedford , Then for Treason loose his Head for 't , and to make his name a blot : In each Lybel as a Rebbell , In a base inhumane Plot. If his Prince had ever left him , Or of any Grace bereft him , e're his Treason force his Lot : Yet-Obedience and Alegience , should have kept him from this Plot. Treason is a Crime 'gainst nature , Against Kings the highest matter , sure can never be forgot : He that blames him does prophane him and his soul is in the Plot. Russel dy'd then unlamented , By all men but who consented to this damn'd inhumane Plot : To Distroy the Nations joy , the King and Monarchy should Rot. But Heavens preserve the Crimson Royal And bring all the rest to tryal who Alegience have forgot : And confounded be each Round-head , in this damn'd inhumane Plot. FINIS .
