Chorus<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

31.\u00a0 Discomfortable Cousin, knowest\u00a0thou not,
\n32.\u00a0 That when the\u00a0searching Eye of Heauen is hid
\n33.\u00a0 Behind the Globe, that lights the lower World,
\n34.\u00a0 Then Theeues and Robbers raunge abroad vnseene,
\n35.\u00a0 In Murthers and in Out-rage bloody here:
\n36.\u00a0 But when from vnder this Terrestriall Ball
\n37.\u00a0 He\u00a0fires the prowd tops of the Easterne Pines,
\n38.\u00a0 And darts his Lightning through eu’ry guiltie hole,
\n40.\u00a0 Then Murthers, Treasons, and detested\u00a0sinnes
\n41.\u00a0 (The Cloake of Night being pluckt from off\u00a0their backs)
\n42.\u00a0 Stand bare and naked, trembling at themselues.
\n43.\u00a0 So when this Theefe, this Traytor\u00a0Bullingbrooke,
\n44.\u00a0 Who all this while hath reuell’d in the Night,
\n45.\u00a0 Shall\u00a0see vs rising in our Throne, the East,
\n46.\u00a0 His Treasons will\u00a0sit blushing in his face,
\n47.\u00a0 Not able to endure the\u00a0sight of Day;
\n48.\u00a0 But\u00a0selfe-affrighted, tremble at his\u00a0sinne.
\n49.\u00a0 Not all the Water in the rough rude Sea
\n50.\u00a0 Can wash\u00a0the Balme from an anoynted King;
\n51.\u00a0 The breath of worldly men cannot depose
\n52.\u00a0 The Deputie elected by the Lord:
\n53.\u00a0 For euery man that\u00a0Bullingbrooke\u00a0hath prest,
\n54.\u00a0 To lift\u00a0shrewd Steele against\u00a0our Golden Crowne,
\n55.\u00a0 Heauen for his\u00a0Richard\u00a0hath in heauenly pay
\n56.\u00a0 A glorious Angell: then if Angels\u00a0fight,
\n57.\u00a0 Weake men must\u00a0fall, for Heauen\u00a0still guards the right.<\/p>\n
