A MERRY SONG ABOUT MURDER.
There was, and a very great fool, 
Who fancy'd all subjects were slaves;
Who endeavour'd at absolute rule, 
By th' help of a parcel of knaves.
Now cutting of throats was his joy, 
And making red rivers of blood;
A fine button his favourite toy;
Tho' his habits were not very good.
Tol lol de.
