On Sir John Fenwick.
1
Here lie the Relicks of a martyr'd Knight,Whose Loyalty unspotted as the Light,
Seal'd with his Blood his injur'd So---gn's Right.
2
The State his Head did from his Body sever,Because when living 'twas his chief Endeavour
To set the Nation and its Head together.
3
He boldly fell, girt round with weeping Soldiers,Imploring Heaven for the good o' the Beholders,
So to cut H---d's Head from England's Shoulders.
