degrees flown far nigh up and down From Court to Cart from Count to Country-Clown Not scorning Scullions Coblers Colliers Jakes-farmers Fidlers Ostlers Oysterers Rogues Gipsies Players Pandars Punks and all What common Scums in Common-Sewers fall For all as Vassals at thy beck are bent And breath by thee as their new Element Which well may prove thy Monarchy the greater Yet prove not thee to be a whit the better But rather worse for Hells wide-open road Is easiest found and by the most still trod Which even the Heathen had the Light to know By Arguments as many times they show Here may we also gather for a need Whether Tobacco be a Herb or Weed And whether the excessive use be fit Or good or bad by those that favour it Weeds wild and wicked mostly entertain it Herbs wholsome Herbs and holy minds disdain it If then Tobacconing be good how is 't That lewdest loosest basest foolishest The most unthrifty most intemperate Most vitious most debaucht most desperate Pursue it most The wisest and the best Abhor it shun it flee it as the Pest Or piercing poyson of a Dracons whisk Or deadly eye shot of a Basilisk If Wisdom baulk it must it not be folly If Vertue hate it is it not unholy If men of worth and minds right generous Discard it scorn it is 't not scandalous And to conclude is it not to the Devil Most pleasing pleasing so most the most evil My second puff is proof how little good This smoke hath done that ever hear I cou'd For first there 's none that takes Tobacco most Most usually most earnestly can boast That the excessive and continual use Of this dry-suck-at ever did produce Him any good civil or natural Or moral good or artificial Unless perhaps they will alledge it draws Away the ill which still it self doth cause Which course me-thinks I cannot liken better Then to a Userers kindness to his Debter Who under shew of lending still subtracts The Debters own and then his own exacts Till at the last he utterly confound him Or leave him worse and weaker then he found him Next if the Custom of Tobacconing Yield th' Users any good in any thing Either they have it or they hope it prest By proof and practice taking still the best For none but Fools will them to ought beslave Whence benefit they neither hope nor have Therefore yet farther as a Questionist I must enquire of my Tobacconist Why if a Christian as some sometimes seem Believing God waiting all good from him And unto him all good again referring Why to eschew th' Ungodly's graceless erring Why pray they not not why praise they not his name For hoped good and good had by this same As all men do or ought to do for all The gifts and goods that from his goodness fall Is 't not because they neithe●●ope nor have Good hence to thank God for nor farther crave But as they had it from the Heathen first So heathenishly they use it still accurst And as some jest of Jisters this is more Ungodly meat both after and before Lastly if all delights of all Mankind Be vanity vexation of the Mind All under Sun must not Tobacco bee Of Vanities the vainest Vanity If Solomon the wisest earthly Prince That ever was before or hath been since Knowing all Plants and then perusing all From Cedar to the Hysop on the Wall In none of all professeth that he sound A firm Content or Consolation found Can we suppose that any shallowing Can find much good in oft Tobacconing My third and last Puff points at the great evil This noysome Vapor works through wily Devil If we may judge if knowledge may be had By their effects how things be good or bad Doubtless th' effects of this pernitious Weed Be many bad scarce any good indeed Nor doth a man scarce any good contain But of this Evil justly may complain As thereby made in every part the worse In Body Soul in Credit and in Purse A Broad-Side AGAINST COFFEE OR THE Marriage of the Turk COFFEE a kind of Turkish Renegade Has late a match with Christian water made At first between them happen'd a Demur Yet joyn'd they were but not without great stir For both so cold were and so faintly meet The Turkish Hymen in his Turbant swet Coffee was cold as Earth Water as Thames And stood in need of recommending Flames For each of them steers a contrary course And of themselves they sue out a Divorce Coffee so brown as berry does appear Too swarthy for a Nymph so fair so clear And yet his sails he did for England hoist Though cold and dry to court the cold and moist If there be ought we can as love admit 'T is a hot love and lasteth but a fit For this indeed the cause is of their stay Newcastle's bowels warmer are than they The melting Nymph distills her self to do 't Whilst the Slave Coffee must be beaten to 't Incorporate him close as close may be Pause but a while and he is none of he Which for a truth and not a story tells No Faith is to be kept with Infidels Sure he suspects and shuns her as a Whore And loves and kills like the Venetian Moor Bold Asian Brat with speed our confines flee Water though common is too good for thee Sure Coffee's vext he has the breeches lost For she 's above and he lies undermost What shall I add but this and sure 't is right The Groom is heavy cause the Bride is light This canting Coffee has his Crew inricht And both the Water and the Men bewitcht A Coachman was the first here Coffee made And ever since the rest drive on the trade Me no good Engalash and sure enough He plaid the Quack to salve his Stygian stuff Ver boon for de stomach de Cough de Ptisick And I believe him for it looks like Physick Coffee a crust is charkt into a coal The smell and taste of the Mock China bowl Where huff and puff they labor out their Lungs Lest Dives-like they should bewail their Tongues And yet they tell ye that it will not burn Though on the Jury Blisters you return Whose furious heat does make the water rise And still through the Alembicks of your eyes Dread and desire ye fall to 't snap by snap As hungry Dogs do scalding porrige lap But to cure Drunkards it has got great Fame Posset or Porrige will 't not do the same Confusion huddles all into one Scene Like Noah's Ark the clean and the unclean But now alas the Drench has credit got And he 's no Gentleman that drinks it not That such a Dwarf should rise to such a stature But Custom is but a remove from Nature A little Dish and a large Coffee-house What is it but a Mountain and a Mouse Mens humana novitatis avidissima I have heard it is good for one thing and that falls out too often when men are so drunk with Wine
