Tixall Poetry.

Without a parlament, I'l pay
No subsidy to Heaven.
No subsidy to Heaven.
A routed faith, a plundred love,
And a sequestred deuty,
Are taxe and impost good enough
For thy delinquent beauty.
And a sequestred deuty,
Are taxe and impost good enough
For thy delinquent beauty.
Call not my harts free homage, scant
Allegiance pay'd unto thee,
Least it engage, and covenant,
New fealtys to undoe thee.
Allegiance pay'd unto thee,
Least it engage, and covenant,
New fealtys to undoe thee.
Revoake not back the lyfe you give,
I'l die no doating martyr,
But question thy prerogative,
If thou repeale my charter.
I'l die no doating martyr,
But question thy prerogative,
If thou repeale my charter.
Strive not thy Babell towre to build,
Or arme gainst loves free citty;
Scorne's high commission-court may yeeld
To freedomes grand committy.
Or arme gainst loves free citty;
Scorne's high commission-court may yeeld
To freedomes grand committy.
