O! Murther Murther is the thing
That Traytors doe devise,
They first did kill their Lord and King,
And's Subjects now like-wise;
But God is just in time hee will
Make all those shrubs to fall,
who durst their Severaignes blood to spell
And fell our Cedars tall.
Hugh Peeters will Rebellion preach
And PRYDE will them intice,
Untill John Pyms disease doe reach
And eate them up with Lice.
But yet their Ephas are not full
When they're the Lord will strike,
And give the infernalls leave to pull
Them to the Stygian-Dike-

O Heavens! how can you forbeare cloathing your selves in an eververlasting
Sable, and with nightly Curtaines draw a veyle of darknesse
of the never blushing, shamelesse faces of those perjur'd Trayters,
Heaven daring Rebels, inbumane murderers, wicked Rigicids, fratracide
and Patricids, whose daily study is to quaffe full bowles of loyall blood,
and with more cruelty then Pambers to devour their own fellow members,
