Heark! Oh heark! you guilty trees,
In whose gloomy galleries
Was the cruell’st murder done,
That e’re yet eclipst the sunne.
Be then henceforth in your twigges
Blasted, e’re you sprout to sprigges;
Feele no season of the yeere,
But what shaves off all your haire,
Nor carve any from your wombes
Ought but coffins and their tombes.
