Newes from the Dead/Thou shalt not Swing againe

by Robert Mathew

THou shalt not Swing againe: come cleare thy brow,
Thou hast the Benefit o'th' Clergie now;
Nor is thy Neck-Verse writt in Blood, which might
Confound thy Thoughts, as it must needs thy Sight.
Thus when Apollo keeps th' Assises, then
Women are sav'd by Booke, as well as Men.
Strange Wench! what character may fit the, best,
That still canst live, though Thou art Hang'd and Prest?

Rob.Mathew, Fellow of New Coll.
