Merchant | ||
Mr. Pennecuik coming by a Tavern in the Country, some Gentlemen seeing him pass by, call'd him, and offered him a Bowl of Punch-Royal which held six Pints, if he would make an Inscription on Captain Philip Lokhart's Effigies that was in the Room, which was perform'd by both Parties, which is as follows.
Was Shot at Preston for the R---l Cause,By an U---s Sanguinary Laws,
60
And spotless L---y was all their Crime;
The Book of M---s shall Record their Names,
Faithful to Scotia, and to R---l J---s:
Two Sons of Belial, Carpenter and Wills,
In breaking your Parole you damn'd your English Souls.
