The Lord of heaven have mercy on her soul, And teach all other by this spectacle, To shun such dangers as she ran into, By her misguided taciturnity: Cut down their bodies, give hers funeral, But let his body be conveyed hence, To Mile-end green, and there be hanged in chains. See here the end of lucre and desire Of riches, gotten by unlawful means, What monstrous evils this hath brought to pass, Your scarce dry eyes give testimonial, The father, son; the sister, brother brings, To open scandal, and contemptuous death. But here come they that wrought these deeds of ruth, As if they meant to plot new wickedness: Whether so fast, you damned miscreants? Ye vain deluders of the credulous, That seek to train men to destruction. Why we will on, to set more harms a float, That I may swim in rivers of warm blood, Outflowing from the sides of Innocents. I will entice the greedy minded soul, To pull the fruit from the forbidden tree: Yet Tantal like, he shall but glut his eye, Nor feed his body with salubrious fruit, Hence stigmatics, you shall not harbour hear, To practise execrable butcheries: myself will bring your close designs to light, And overthrow your wild conspiracies, No heart shall entertain a murderous thought, Within the sea embracing continent, Where fair Eliza Prince of piety, Doth wear the peace adorned Diadem. maugre the worst, I will have many hearts, That shall affect my secret whisperings, The chink of gold is such a pleasing cry, That all men wish to hear such harmony, And I will place stern murder by my side, That we may do more harms than haughty pride. Truth, now farewell, hereafter thou shalt see, I'll vex thee more with many tragedies. The more the pity, would the heart of man, Were not so open wide to entertain, The harmful baits, of self-devouring sin, But from the first unto the latter times, It hath and will be so eternally, Now it remains to have your good advice, Unto a motion of some consequence, There is a Bark that's newly rigged for sea, Unmanned, unfurnished with munition: She must encounter with a greater foe, Then great Alcides slew in Lerna Lake, Would you be pleased to man this willing bark, With good conceits of her intention, To store her with the thundering furniture, Of smoothest smiles, and pleasing plaudiats, She shall be able to endure the shock, Of snarling Zoilus, and his cursed crew, That seeks to sink her in reproaches waves, And may perchance obtain a victory, 'gainst curious carps, and fawning Parasites: But if you suffer her for want of aid, To be o'erwhelmed by her insulting foes, Oh then she sinks, that meant to pass the flood, With stronger force to do her country good: It resteth thus, whether she live or die, She is your Beadsman everlastingly.

The Lord of heauen haue mercy on her soule, And teach all other by this spectacle, To shunne such dangers as she ran into, By her misguided taciturnitie: Cut downe their bodies, giue hers funerall, But let his body be conueyed hence, To Mile-end greene, and there be hang'd in chaines. See here the end of lucre and desire Of riches, gotten by vnlawfull meanes, What monstrous euils this hath brought to passe, Your scarce drie eyes giue testimoniall, The father, sonne; the sister, brother brings, To open scandall, and contemptuous death. But heere come they that wrought these deeds of ruthe, As if they meant to plot new wickednesse: Whether so fast, you damned miscreants? Yee vaine deluders of the credulous, That seeke to traine men to destruction. Why we will on, to set more harmes a flote, That I may swim in riuers of warme blood, Out-flowing from the sides of Innocents. I will intice the greedie minded soule, To pull the fruite from the forbidden tree: Yet Tantall like, he shall but glut his eye, Nor feede his body with salubrious fruite, Hence Stigmaticks, you shall not harbor heare, To practice execrable butcheries: My selfe will bring your close designes to light, And ouerthrow your vilde conspiracies, No hart shall intertaine a murthrous thought, Within the sea imbracing continent, Where faire Eliza Prince of pietie, Doth weare the peace adorned Diadem. Mauger the worst, I will haue many harts, That shall affect my secret whisperings, The chinck of golde is such a pleasing crie, That all men wish to heare such harmony, And I will place sterne murther by my side, That we may do more harmes then haughty pride. Truth, now farewell, hereafter thou shalt see, Il vexe thee more with many tragedies. The more the pitty, would the hart of man, Were not so open wide to entertaine, The harmfull baites, of selfe deuouring sinne, But from the first vnto the latter times, It hath and will be so eternally, Now it remaines to haue your good aduice, Vnto a motion of some consequence, There is a Barke thats newly rigd for sea, Vnmand, vnfurnishd with munition: She must incounter with a greater foe, Then great Alcydes slue in Lerna Lake, Would you be pleasd to man this willing barke, With good conceits of her intencion, To store her with the thundring furniture, Of smoothest smiles, and pleasing plaudiats, She shall be able to endure the shock, Of snarling Zoylus, and his cursed crue, That seekes to sincke her in reproches waues, And may perchance obteine a victorie, Gainst curious carpes, and fawning Parasites: But if you suffer her for want of ayde, To be orewhelmd by her insulting foes, Oh then she sinckes, that meant to passe the flood, With stronger force to do her countrie good: It resteth thus, whether she liue or dye, She is your Beades-man euerlastinglie.
