Strong drinke I will refuse for it hath done me wrong It hath made me abuse my selfe with hand and tongue When I have béene in drinke I had no care at all Nor did I ever thinke upon my owne downefall Good-fellowes c. I still cri'd fill the Pot whil'st all my mony was gone And did pay many a shot for others as 't is well knowne And they gave me faire words whil'st I could still doe so But now their tongs are swords from whence envie doth flow Good-fellowes c. My good will is repaid with envie hate and spite Some of them snares have laid to take me with deceit They laugh at my downefall as plainely I doe prove Scarce any of them all repay me any love Good-fellowes c.

The time hath béene that I could not have past by 'th doores But as I walked by such company as rores Would cause me to sit downe and welcome should be made But many times a crowne for such welcomes I pay'd Good-fellowes great and small pray let me you advise To have a care withall 't is good to be merry and wise The second part To the same tune TObacco Ale and Béere for me was brought amaine With Wine and dainty chéere serv'd in with Venus traine Looke what I wished to have they did fulfill my minde Most dainty words they gave which made me think them kind Good-fellowes great and small pray let me you advise To have a care withall 't is good to be merry and wise But now the proverbs true 't was money was my friend For having none I rue there 's none will give nor lend They say the world is hard and that I finde indéed For none doe me regard now I am in most need Good-fellowes c. If I to 'th Alehouse goe and call for Ale or Béere My Hostesse soone will know my stock for she 's in feare If I call but two pots and pay not presently Then quickly for her shots she will begin to cry Good-fellowes c.

When I had money good store and had no néed at all Then I might fréely score what-ever I did call But now I am in want of Money Bread and Béere At me sh●e'l loudly taunt and aske What make you here Good-fellowes c. Now I repent too late I cannot call againe My money and estate that I have spent in vaine I must take an new course and séeke to get some more But yet sometimes of force my miseries I deplore Good-fellowes great c. Some wonder now at me and say I am growne strange But they shall plainely sée that I my life will change For I le not spend a peny amongst the drunken crue O I have spent too many that makes me have so few Good-fellowes c. Had I done so in time I ne'r had knowne such want But I with each would joyne there 's nothing could me daunt I never tooke no care what e're my friends did say But what 's fall'n to my share even griefe and sad annoy Good-fellowes c. But now I will amend my lewd lascivious life For now I doe intend to be ruled by my Wife O she 's a loving soule as ever poore man had For her the Bell did toule and I vile knave was glad Good-fellowes c. But now she 's well againe and will not die this fit She shall have to maintaine her all that I can get To conclude I le take paines next Munday I le begin This Song it appertaines to Women and to Men.
