From Plots and from Spies,
From Treason and Lies,
We shall ever be free ;
And the Law shall be able,
To punish a Rebel,
As cunning as he :
Thai London, &>c.
Rebellion ne'er wanted a Loyal pretence,
These Villains swear all's for the good of their Prince ;
Oppose our Elections, to shew what they dare,
And loosing their Charter Arrest the Mayor ;
Fool y<? — ks was the first o' th' Cuckoldly crew,
With Ell— s and Jea—kll and Hub—lnd the Jew ;
Fam'd Sparks of the Town,
For Wealth and Renown,
Give the Devil his due,
And such as we fear,
Had their Soveraign been their,
Had Arrested him too :
