stout Francis Villiers slain Brother to Buckingham who did escape Then to beyond Seas straight himself betake ☞ Langdale this while did in the North surprize Carlisle and Berwick and with him do rise Many the Northern Gentry whom unto Advanceth the Scots Generalissimo Hamilton with his numerous Regiments Lilburn of Tinmoth also now resents Rebellion and doth for the King declare But a short time

Into the Town Cromwels Horse them pursue Soon clear the Streets and numbers of them slew The Duke doth with a stand of Pikes maintan The Bridge till many of his men were slain And till the wish'd obscurity of night Gave him advantage of a further flight With execution great pursu'd those were Who fled to Lancaster-ward every where Great heaps of slaughter'd Scots by th' way do lye To Wiggon-ward this night the Duke doth slye Yet a strong Barn hee manned by the way This for a while Cromwels pursuit doth stay And did some execution on his Horse But for to yeild on mercy they inforce The Scots who from them little mercy finde From Wiggon the third day the Duke design'd For Warrington but by the way of ground Having a plot most advantagious found They make a stand so fierce a fight maintain That Roundheads there are full a thousand slain In half a hour the rest reacy to flye At which Cromwel ride up aloud doth cry Come follow mee and on himself then goes Leaping the Hedge t' amongst the thickest Foes Of whom some hundreds on the place are slain And full two thousand of them Prisoners tane The routed Scots straight to the Bridgeward make The Duke with all his Horse doth here forsake His Foot which at the Bridge delivered are With all their Arms as Prisoners sad of War By Bayley unto Cromwel who did go North-ward tryumphantly to meet Monroe ☞ Hamilton to Nantwatch directly flies Against him every where the Country rise At Uxiter Lord Gray doth him inforce Himself to yeild with nigh three thousand Horse Thus are his men all routed tane or dead And hee himself

condemn and execute What Hell-hounds thus did Cromwels purpose suit What Judge durst Sentence pass so Impious Was there no Gods that had respect to us Or to our King what will the powers Divine Their Vengeance from such Miscreants heads decline If such acts irreligious shall go free Who will beleeve there 's any Deity Or that these things sublunary at all Under cognizance of the Gods do fall The Gods on Mortals can inflict no wrath Jove's but a fiction and no thunder hath Tisiphone there no such Fury is Hell 's but a fable and her Nemesis No matter whether Heaven wee love or hate There 's no such place all things are rul'd by Fate Ah! whether doth my passion mee transport Justice dispenc'd will be from Heavens high Court On the High Court of Justice blood for blood Cryes out aloud and will bee understood Revenge whereof although the Gods delay It 's with more Fury that they may repay Their Miscreant Enemies and make them know They have respect to things done here below Finis Libri
