And put them upon poles.

For God did take their souls.

(This poem and the following one were stuck on several doors
in the town of Manchester, England, October 20; an example
of Jacobite Wit, on the heads of Siddal and Deacon.)

'Twas they who prepar'd and fast'ned the rope,
Had there been more, they had had their deserts,
When justice and vengeance thus stuck to their skirts.
