182 NOTES.
And Pickering, in fatal bold,
Must answer for the thing.
Nethrop, West, and all the rest,
With Perkin may agree,
To be o' th' Tower (not throne) possest ;
Tlien hey, hoys, up go we.
Our city riots and country routs,
That to rebellion tend,
Our races, and our hunting-bouts,
In insurrection end.
The rebel now is catch'd i' th' snare
He laid for monarchy :
At last the gallows claims its share ;
Then hey, boys, up go loe.
Another of them begins thus :
Now, now, the antichristian crew
Shall all go down, because
Our magistrates do well pursue
And execute the laws.
Those rascals, who do always rail
Against all laws with spight,
Would make a law against a law ;
Great York should lose his right.
And another thus :
Now the bad Old Cause is tapt,
And the vessel standeth stooped ;
The Cooper may starve for want of ivorlc,
For the cash shall never be hooped.
We will burn the association,
The covenant, and vow,
The public cheat of the nation,
Anthony, now, now, now.
