4. Messe-Lord let her crase take her cousin ferry could counsel, for her know her much offend te Parliament, for joining wit te Tefill Cafaliers, and preach again te Roundheads, her now proves a Rattle-head herself for it, but mark here now, her would have her crase now to purchase Arches old Coat, that her may plead her cousin Arches privilege, And her will be then Arch-fool, and Arch-Beshet and all, and if that will not make her scape , then make a mourning Cloak of her Canoncall gown; and that will hid her foole-coate, and her wise man both.  
5. Her would have counsel her crase, for send a Scout for Londou, to her falient command, and fight before Conoway, her send for Newcastle, for tell her at Court, when her come to York, her will leave to shoot pullet, and toss Tennis Ball, when meet to Court there, her send to the Counsel of War, for see how many Captains; her Lord-shets made Cafaliers when the Roundheads went down) are now found traitors, her send to Clergy, to see what they are preparing in stead of the Mitre. Let her get a Jesuit too for play at wily-beguily, and send one Scout to play at bo peep with the Sotch Army.  
6. Her would pray that her Crace will send a Petition to the General in the name of all her cousins of Wales, signed by her cousin Taffie, and cousin jenkin, ap Williams, ap Roperts, ap Thomas, ap Shone, and all her create blood shentile folk, and 'tis is her petition:  
That Shon-a morgan shentilman of Wales, being sick of the Northern disease, desires him to send some honest Soldiers that will not plunder: for her have had some come to her Bess ap joane, her noun's wife, and call, You whore, give her for her Dinner, or her will cut her throat; then her give a shoulder of Mutton, a Robin-run-ith-hole, and fill her belly with couse-bobby her noun self: and to Soldier, when eat her Dinner, drink all her drink, knock down her lambs, kill her poultry, and vex her blood, would keep her wife up all night before her noun face, whether her will or no; but her has tem now in a trap in Conoway, her would have more honest Soldiers to fetch tem out by both cares, whether her will or no. All her cousins in all her principality of Wales, will contribute, and give at the least fifteenscore shillings, a create deal for one country, her prey let her General know.  
7. Hircius hear tat te Lords and juncto, or Conventicle, what call you, that sat at Oxford, are broke up, and will fight no more against the Parliament: her desire that her faliant Countrymen that have hate their all this while, when they come home, may be presented with a golden Calf of half a score shillings price for a peace offering.  
8. That you will send in a Catalogue of the King's Champions into Conoway Castle to the Governor (to see to how little purpose he holds it out) with the accidents that have befallen them, as you see it written in this paper.  
Falkland is dead, Rupert is fled, Digby is run away,  
Bristol is flying, Cottington dying & Dupper left for to pray,  
Dives is at hand, Strangwayes cannot stand, Jarmin gives a call,  
The Juncto is flying, their cause is a dying, Fairfax conquers all.  
9 That her cousin shentlemen of Wales make her create Dinner for the could Lord crace, and her prethrens Bishit Prelates, and create Priests to make merry with, when her take Connoway from the Cavaliers, and her shall have could shear provided for her; her tell her what would have ten, mark her create Feast.  
Her would have a Woodcock pie, dressed of her Lordshits noun fashion and a Lamb pasty for the rest of her guests, but her love no more Dear. Her dress for cut-up dish, two pickled Lords, sealed of the Oxford fashion, and a calf's head for her crace standing dish, and for sauce her will have Couse-bobby and creen leeks make ferry could salad. And her will be ferry merry, mark her here now: her Cafalier make no such feasts, but have Irish rebels tears for her drink, and dine in the Castle of Care: they have play their music, and their Tenor is vox Regis, for their Base, vox Clerici, their Discords vox Concilii, but pray her crace let her feast have for her Tenor vox Parliamentorum, for her triple, vox popull; for her counter vox pauperis: for her mean vox puri, for her consort vox coeli, and for her comfort vox Dei.  
10. That her could Mess Lord may have the Welsh Coranto sung at her Craces' chamber window, that her cousin Taffy, may hear it too, which is this.  
The cunning D ane, the pride of Spain, and Orleaus Duke lay out,  
The Irish Wild, the French men mild, and Dunkirk bold and stout,  
Had joined arms, & vowed great harms to Britain they would bring  
The Parliament did them prevent, but Scots have got the King.  
The English men both bold and strong, the Scottish stout and hardy,  
The valiant Welshmen will be first to take the Papists tardy.  
The Parliament by sea and land, will pull their courage down,  
And make men know King Charles must keep the Jesuits from the Crown.  
11. That her send to her prother Beshit at Worcester, cause before her compound with the Parliament, her may have her letter if her can get it, & give the Parliament Drummers good store of wine (if her can have it) to forbear beating, and call on the Canoniers and Soldiers to forbear shooting, that so the noise of the Guns & Trums may not drown the sound of the Organs for her little time her stay in Worcester, cause since her lost Worcester, her Organs played pull her down.  
12. That her may no more fight with her prethrens and cousins at home, but all join against the rebel Irish, that cut our British Protestant's throats, and then 
Thou Irish ken, We fear thee not, our quarrel is to fight,  
Oneal we'll lash, Glamorgan slash, and Musgrave put to flight.  
And by command we'll have their land as soon as they are slain,  
Then with all speed, we'll do the deed, Taffy will fight amain,   
But after her Van hath carbonadoed the rebels in her march; like so many Capons, and sent them to Dublin for a present, her Lord Beshit may bring up the Rear, to see that none of her cousins forsake her colours.
