TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>A Sword unsheathed, and a strangling-Snare,<lb/>
                                Is figur'd here; which, in dumbe-shewes, doe preach,<lb/>
                                Of what the Malefactor should beware;<lb/>
                                And, they doe threaten too, aswell as Teach.<lb/>
                                For, some there are, (would God, that summe were lesse)<lb/>
                                Whom, neither good Advise, nor, wholesome Lawe,<lb/>
                                Can turne from Pathwaies of Vnrighteousnesse,<lb/>
                                If Death, or Tortures, keepe them not in awe.<lb/>
                                These, are not they, whose Conscience for the sake<lb/>
                                Of Goodnesse onely, Godlinesse, pursues;<lb/>
                                But, these are they, who never scruple make<lb/>
                                What Guilt, but, what great punishment ensues.<lb/>
                                For such as these, this Emblem was prepar'd:<lb/>
                                And, for their sakes, in places eminent,<lb/>
                                Are all our Gallow-trees, and Gibbets, rear'd;<lb/>
                                That, by the sight of them, they might repent.<lb/>
                                Let, therefore, those who feele their hearts inclin'd<lb/>
                                To any kind of Death-deserving-Crime,<lb/>
                                (When they behold this Emblem ) change their mind,<lb/>
                                Lest, they (too late) repent, another time.<lb/>
                                And, let not those our Counsell, now, contemne,<lb/>
                                Who, doome poore Theeves to death; yet, guilty be<lb/>
                                Of more, then most of those whom they Condemne:<lb/>
                                But, let them Learne their perill to foresee,<lb/>
                                For, though a little while, they may have hope<lb/>
                                To seeme upright, (when they are nothing lesse)<lb/>
                                And, scape the Sword, the Gallowes, and the Rope,<lb/>
                                There is a Iudge, who sees their wickednesse;<lb/>
                                And, when grim Death, shall summon them, from hence,<lb/>
                                They will be fully plagu'd for their offence.<lb/>
