GOod fellowes all to you I send These verses which in loue I pend Desiring you will compasse keepe and bid farwell good fellowship I once did beare a good fellowes name And still am counted for the same But now my vow is ingaged deepe to bid farwell good fellowship I haue beene of that â—ett so long Till bâ—â—ke complaines of bellies wrong With great exclaimes in euery street to make me leaue good fellowship Me thinkes I oft doe heare it say Mongst drunkards thou consumed away Thy 〈◊〉 â—emory and witt all wasted by good â—elâ—â—ship Of me thou takest but liâ—â—le care Though bâ—â—lies and yet backe is bare And 〈◊〉 winter will thee 〈◊〉 vnles thou leaue good fellowship Thou thinkest good fellowes be thy friends And what thou haâ—t 〈◊〉 them thou spends What 〈…〉 worke gainst all y â— weeke comsumeth by good fellowship But when that all thy money is gone And score nor credit thou hast none These friends from thee away will slipe and fareweâ—l all good fellowship When being gon at thée they 'l laugh T is bad to trust a broaken staffe For feare thou fall in danger deepe giue ouer in time good fellowship For dayly doth attend the same Too sisters call'd begery and shame Whose hands hearts full fast are knit and ioyned to good fellowship Besides deseases that doth flow From drunkennes as many know Who be their smart haue felt the whipe that followeth good fellowship Surfetes dropsies and diuers paines Ach of the head bâ—each of the braines Like festred â—iâ—â—oile foule and déepe attendeth on good â—eâ—lowship Ten thousand misseries alacke Failâ—s both on bodie and on backe As ancient writters large haue write to warne vs from good fellowship The second part wherein is declared The backes complaint hath the bellie reformed To bid farwell good fellowship To the same tune THis sad complaint when I did heare Uewing my back I see it was beare And cheifest cause I knew of it was kéeping of good fellowship Being much moued at the same A solemne oath then did I frame This hainious wrong for to aquite to bid farwell good fellowship And therefore here I bid farwell To that which once I lou'd to well Henceforth I will in compasse keepe therefore farwell good fellowship Farwell all such as take delight To drinke and goâ—sell day and night Their sole sicke healths healthles whiff and causes the â—aâ—e good fellowship Farwell all such that dayly vse Themselues and others to abuse Iâ— using all that they do â—eete with them to keepe good fellowship Farwell all such that well are knowne To haue a charge to keepe at hoâ—e As wife and child yet from them flitt and fly out to good fellowship Farwell good fellowes more and lesse No tongue is able to expresse The wofull wants that dayly hitte on them that kéepe good fellowship Some that were famous throw all parts For workmanship and skill in Arts Hath beggery cought vpon the hippe for kéeping of good fellowship Soâ—e that haue had possessions store Lands goods and cattell few had more But lands goods oxe horse and sheepe were wasted by good fellowship Many examples are dayly séene Of such that haue good fellowes beene Bacchus braue souldiers stout and stiffe which now lament good fellowship And to conclud the sin is such The wise man sayes none shall be ritch Except he shun that bitter sweete which drunkards call good fellowship Then learne this vice for to refraine The onely cause of griefe and paine Least yee like me in sorrow sit lamenting of good fellowship Per me Edward Cuker FINIS Printed at London by W.
