*D***by's Farewel.*

Farewel my Tom D---by, my Pimp and my Cheat,
'Twas for my own Ends I made you so great:
The Plot is discover'd, our Mony's all spent,
I'll leave you to hang and my self to repent.
Our Masters the Commons begin now to war,
And swear they will either have you or my Whore.
Then D***by forgive me, if I am forsworn,
And leave you to die like a Traitor forlorn.
