A Reflection, on the Arreignment OF King Charles the First.

Here lyes Treason in a Trap,
Rebellion did commit a rape
On Loyalty, and Traytours bring
The Brat of Treason, to the King:
To Father the Hop-gobling Elf,
Of Treachery, against Himself.
Then Sophister you plainly lie,
Quæ malum cannot appeti;
But it is true (as it is said)
A Crown is of a Cob-web made.
