ABSTRACT

A man of office, who to daunt life's hopes, Doth cord their hands and scarf their necks with ropes.

Thus roped and corded they descend the stairs; Newgate's Black Dog bestirs to play his part,

And doth not cease for to augment their cares, Willing the carman to set near his cart;

Which done, these men with fear of death o'erpanged, Bound in the cart are carried to be hanged.
