Fitz-Harris his FARWEL TO THE WORLD, OR A TRAYTORS Just Reward▪

FArwell great Villain, and unpittied Lie,

Instead of Tears drawn from a tender Eye;

Ten thousand Traytors like Fitz-Harris dye.

Unhuman Monster, to the World ingrate,

An Enemy to the King, the Church and State;

Hadst thou been starv'd, 't had been too kind a Fate.

His Crimes were horrid, infamous and base.

Deserves a total extinct of his Race;

Banish his Name unto some dismal place.

What's worse than injuring Sacred Majestie,

For which he suffered on the fatal Tree;

May all men suffer, when Rob'd of Loyalty.

England may then be glad, with Triumph sing,

When all her Foes are vanisht with a string;

The Golden Age from Halcion-days will spring.

Those Wolves that Plot Protestant Lambs to Gull,

May Heaven obstruct the Engines of their Scull;

Give them of Tyburn, good Lord, their Belly full.

Giddy-headed Youths have been seduc'd of late,

Beyond their Wits, talk of the Affairs of State;

Obedience learn to avoid Fitz-Harris Fate.

[Page]

Those publick Libellers that with Zeal and heat,

With some unheard of Novelty dayly Treat;

If they write falsly, tie them from their Meat.

Tell th' Ambitious, their Fools and strive in vain,

To undermine a Crown, King Charles will Reign:

To be true and honest, is the safest Gain.

I hope to see Justice at Tyburn done,

If so, some hundreds may have Cause to run;

Give them what they deserve, their Thread is spun.

Bid proud petitioners, good Advice approve,

Make an Address and in one Body move;

With all humility t' gain their Prince's Love.

I'de sooner lose a Limb, from th' Monument fly,

Endure the worst of Torments till I dye;

Then willingly deserve my Kings displeasing Eye.

London, on thee all flourishing joys descend,

Heaven's bl [...]ss the Government, and Governors to the end;

Unanimous to agree, your Soveraign to defend.

The Man that burnt Diana's Temple down,

Did it on purpose a Villain to be Crown'd;

Mongst Rogues (Damn'd Rogues) he got Renown.

How many thousands are there in the Nation,

Meer Knaves, but Saints, in private Congregation;

Loves Monarchy, with mental Reservation.

The Gods rebuke the Error of the Age,

Let moderation Tumultuous men asswage;

But hang all those against their King engage.

Let all dissenting Brothers Love the King,

To the Church Unite, 'tis a goodly thing;

With Brethren to agree, and with Te Deum fing.

Heaven's bless his Majesty, with Plenty, Joy and Peace.

To all that love the King Heavens give increase;

Confound his Foes to pray I nere will cease.

Non est Lex j [...]or ulla Quam Necis Artifficis, Arte perire sua.

Richard Gibbs,

Norwitch.

FINIS.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
