CATCH.
Hold fast thy Sword and Sceptre, Charles,
Sad Times are coming on:
The murmuring of the Senate House
Smells strong of Forty One.
Sad Times are coming on:
141
Smells strong of Forty One.
When Kings are call'd to give account
What their Expences be;
It is a sign we are all Kings,
Or that no King can be.
What their Expences be;
It is a sign we are all Kings,
Or that no King can be.
Give way but to their Wills awhile,
And you shall find as great
A Will in them to act anew
From One to Forty Eight.
And you shall find as great
A Will in them to act anew
From One to Forty Eight.
Hold, cruel England, hold, in thee
Though all Rebellion springs:
Consider but thine end from me,
That kill'd the best of Kings.
Though all Rebellion springs:
Consider but thine end from me,
That kill'd the best of Kings.
