THE Lord RUSSELS Laſt Farewel to the VVorld.
A SONG.

[Page]

[...]

FArewel, farewel to Mortal Powers,

and fond Ambitious Fools;

Now guiltleſs Blood requireth ours,

from Providence that Rules.

Farewel to Monmouth, Horned Grey,

who are from Juſtice fled;

And left me to this fatal Day,

to looſe my Plotting Head.

II.

Of all the Lords of our Cabals,

I am the firſt that Dyes

Byth' hand of Juſtice, which foretells

a Counter Sacrifice;

That Blazing-Star at Stafford's Death,

foretold a fatal Change:

Now I declare, with my laſt breath,

it is but juſt Revenge.

III.

Farewel to our late Parliaments,

which made Three Kingdoms ſhake;

Our Lawleſs Votes (my Soul torments)

was for Rebellions ſake:

Th'Excluſive Bill I did promote

with vigour, ſpleen, and power;

Thereby to cut a Monarchs Throat,

that caus'd this Bleeding Hour.

IV.

The beſt of Kings I ſought to Kill,

and draw'd in Thouſands more:

Who neither wanted Wealth nor Will,

and Traytors long before:

Beſides the Peaſants and the poor,

for Inſurrection bent;

To lay the Kingdom all in gore,

to pleaſe a Parliament.

V.

We neither feared Law nor Right,

Prerogative nor Fate;

Impeached Queen and Duke for ſpight,

to make the King afraid:

We thought he durſt not call to count

our great Conſpiring Heads;

But now like me they all muſt mount,

and fall into the Shades.

VI.

If we had Hang'd Tony and Tom,

when firſt the Plot begun;

Then I to this had never come,

nor James from Juſtice run:

Denying of the Plot's in vain,

ſince Eſſex cut's own Throat;

Both Rouſe and Walcot owns the ſame,

and all the reſt muſt do't.

VII.

For my Confeſſion I commit

toth' Groaning-Board's Divine;

'Tis his deſire to Word it fit,

I hope for no Deſign;

If Whiggiſh Cant, he puts upon't,

with 'quivocating Shamms;

Then ſcore him up, on our account,

his Libel to the Flames.

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).
