Man being hanged
Castle Front

[ 1 ] THe Protestant Joyner is carried To Oxford to take his degree , And there it is said will be married All under the Willow-green Tree . For since his Accomplishes faulter , Jack Ketch has provided a Halter For those that did blame us ; And went for to sham us : Will find that the Bill was not Ignoramus . [ 2 ] He 's swell'd up with Treacherous Sedition , And now of Rebellion is sick , He wants the Fore-man his Physitian To find out some Pollitick trick , For he Good-man's in the Tower , And now lies beyond the power Of Whig , or of Shrieve , To give him Reprieve , Or Counsel him how himself to Retrieve . [ 3 ] May now all the Presbiter Faction Look sad at this Colledges fate , Who was Master of Arts in Transaction , To make Tony Head of the State : Since Libell's accounted witty , He published throughout the City , To blow up the fire Of Ambitious desire , For which in a Halter he 's now like t' expire . [ 4 ] The Judges were kind to the Prisoner , And granted what e're he desired , He had Presbiter , Priest , and Tapster To speak what e're he Required : He had what e're he propounded , Yet was by the witness confounded , For the Priest disappears , Through scoffs , and through jeares , & shrunk out of the Court like a Rat without ears . [ 5 ] Twelve men of the best of the County Were chosen to bring in the Fact , They scorn'd a Reward or a Bounty , Since for God and King Charles they did Act , They brought him in guilty of Treason , For which all the Judges shew'd reason , Then after being Cast , His Sentence was past , For the Halter's the first , & the Fire the last . [ 6 ] He now does begin to repent him , And wishes he 'd ne'r been a Fool , But made use of the Talent was lent him ; Not work'd with so dangerous a tool : So wretched a Sott ne'r man saw , He 's cut to Death with his Hand-Saw , This , this is the fate , When fools to be great , will venture their lives to be Members of State [ 7 ] This Rascal who lived well in London And could not be Planeing at home , But is by his foolery undone , And to Execution must come : He thought to have been Head of the Colledg , But that was beyond his knowledge , Thus fools who aspire , Will fall in the Mire , And still do come short of what they desire . [ 8 ] God preserve Great Charles and his Councill , And see that to Sentence they bring , All Traytors that do pronounce ill , Or talk of so Gracious a King : May they all by their Plot● be confounded , Both Papist , Whigg , and , Round-head , And bring them t● shame , Who speak ill of his name , for he 's our King that the world does proclaim
