A NEW NARRATIVE OF THE OLD PLOT. A SONG:

[Page]

To the Tune of Ruſſels Farewel.

I.

WHen Traytors did at Popery rail,

becauſe it taught Confeſſion,

When Bankrupts bawl'd for Property,

and Baſtards for Succeſſion:

When Tony durſt eſpouſe the Cauſe,

ſpight of his Pox and Gout,

When ſpeaking Williams purg'd the Houſe

by ſpewing Members out.

II.

When Hunt a Twifort Pamplet wrote,

the Emblem of his Soul,

When Oats ſwore whom he pleas'd in's Plot

and reign'd without controul:

When L——ce Lampoon'd the Court,

and Libel'd Cats and Dogs,

When Witneſſes like Muſhrooms ſprung,

out of the Iriſh Boggs.

III.

Then Perkin thought 'twas time to prove,

his claim to Kingship Fair,

And ſaith 'tis fit the Peoples Son,

ſhould be the Peoples Heir:

So fill'd with Zeal he and his Knight,

Carreſs'd and Court the Rout,

And my Lord Duke goes up and down,

to ſhew his Grace about.

IV.

Tho' F—d Lord G—y would not engage,

upon that idle ſcore,

For he would have a Common-Wealth,

as well as Common Whore:

He envy'd his Old Friend a Crown,

but why I can't deviſe,

For's Grace had grac'd his Lordſhips head,

with Horns of Noble ſize.

V.

Likewiſe his Patron Zeal grew high,

th' Excluſion to advance,

And the Right Heir muſt be debar'd,

for fear of Rome and France:

The Zeelous Commons then reſolv'd,

and they knew what they did,

By whomſoever King ſhould fall,

the Papiſts Throats ſhould bleed.

VI.

So murth'ring Poniards oft are ſlipt,

into a Guiltleſs Hand;

And Innocence is ſacrific'd,

whilſt Malefactors ſtand;

By Hells aſſiſtance then they fram'd

their damn'd Aſſociation,

And worthy Men, and Men worthy,

divided all the Nation.

VII.

Fools oft and Mad Men leave the leſs,

and chuſe the greater Evil,

Thus for fear of POPERY,

run headlong to the Devil:

At laſt theſe Loyal Souls propoſe,

to eaſe their Sovereigns Cares,

If he'l ſit down and firſt remove

their Jealouſies and Fears.

VIII.

Juſt the Old trick and ſham-Device,

of Belzebub their Sire,

If he'l fall down and Worſhip them,

they'l grant his hearts deſire;

Nay, Lives and Fortunes then ſhall be

intirely all his own,

If he will fairly once diſclaim

his Brother and a Crown.

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).
