Chorus.

’Tis the king that groans; the work, the bloody work, I fear, is doing.

Weave we counsel now together, and concert a sure design.[n86]

1st Chorus.

I give my voice to lift the loud alarm,

And rouse the city to besiege the doors.

2nd Chorus.

Rather forthwith go in ourselves, and prove

The murderer with the freshly-dripping blade.

3rd Chorus.
