betwixt them both a Golden meane Which would direct their superfluities They would not hang themselues for niggardize Nor wastfully or prodigally spend Till want bring them to hanging in the end And they and many others by their purse Might scape that hanging which is cald a curse There 's many a Gallant made of foole and feather Of Gold and Veluet Silke and Spanish leather Whose ragged Hangers on haue mou'd my minde To see pride goe before and shame behinde With scarce a button or an Elboe whole A breech or any shooe that 's worth a sole Those are like Golden Iybbets and their Traines Are like poore tatterd Theeues hang'd vp in chains He that doth suffer Whores or Theeues or Knaues Base flattering Villaines or such kinde of slaues To hang vpon him and knowes what they are That man vnto a Gallowse I compare That Vintner I account no friend of mine Who for good money drawes me scuruie wine And by the rule of Conscience not of Law That he is fitter made to hang than draw The Lawyer that at length doth spin mens causes With false delayes and dilatorie clauses Who makes a trade to broach and draw contention For him a hanging were a good preuention But holla Muse come backe you beare my Rime To hanging in good earnest ere the time There are a many sorts of hangings yet Behinde which I by no meanes must forget One hanging is a necessary thing Which is a pretty Gamboll cald a Swing And men of good repute I oft haue seene To hang and stretch and totter for the spleene This hanging is a militarie course Not by the Law but strength of armes and force Thus euery morning for a little spurt A man may hang himselfe and doe no hurt This hanging oft like Tyburne hath a tricke Saues charge of physicke or of being sicke Besides the word Hang is so much in vse That few or none will tak 't as an abuse It doth a great mans kindnesse much approue When he shall bid a man Be hang'd in loue And with some men 't is common courtesie To say Farewell be hangd that 's twice God ●wy The pictures of the dearest friends we haue Although their corps are rotten in the graue We hang them for a reuerend memorie To vs and vnto our posteritie Some hang their wiues in picture which haue cause To hang their persons wer 't not for the lavves Some hang their heires in picture who would faine Wish their good fathers hang'd their lands to ga●ne I oft haue seene good garments for mens wearing Haue very thriftily beene hang'd to airing And I haue seen those garments like good fellows Hang kindly with their master at the Gallowse And then into the Hangmans Wardrobe drop Haue beene againe hang'd in a Broakers shop Which after by a Curpurse bought might be And make another iourney to the Tree Twixt which and twixt the Broaker it might goe Or ride some twelue or thirteene times or moe Thus th'hangmans haruest and the Brokers grow They reape the crop which sin and shame doth sow There are rich Hangings made of Tapestrie Of Arras and of braue embroderie Those are for Princes and for men of worth T' adorne their Roomes and set their greatnes forth But as dead bones in painted Tombes doe bide These Hangings filthy rotten walls doe hide A Harts horne to a post fast nailed on Serues well for men to Hang their hats vpon But if they knew their heads would serue the turne They would not shift their hats from horn to horn Mens swords in Hangers Hang fast by their side Their Stirrops Hang when as they vse to ride Our Conies and our Deere are Hang'd in toiles Our meat hangs o're the fire when as it boiles Our light Hangs in the Lanthorne all men sees Our frui● we eat was hang'd vpon the trees Signes hang on posts shew where as tradesmen dwels In steeples all men know are Hang'd the Bels The scales or ballance hangs where things are weigh'd Goods Hang'd in Cranes that 's in or out conue●'d Yards sailes shears tacks lists caskets bolins braces Are fitly hang'd in their conuenient places The compasse that directs where windes doe blow Is Hang'd vpon the Needles point we know In stately buildings Timber Lead and Stone Are Hang'd and hoist or Buildings would be none Our Maps wherein the world described be Are all Hang'd vp against the walls we see Our Cazements Hang as they doe ope and shut Our Curtaines Hang which 'bout our beds we put Our Hogs are Hang'd else Bacon we might looke Doores Hang on Hinges or I am mistooke And many a trusty Padlocke Hangs no doubt To let in honest men and keepe Knaues out Sea Cabins Hang where poore men sleepe rest Our Clokes Hang on our backs 't is manifest The Viall Citterne the Bandore and Lute Are cas'd or vncas'd all Hang'd vp and mute Our Linnen being wash'd must Hang to dry Or else Lice will Hang on and multiply Thus Hanging 's beneficiall to all States Whilst Gods dread curse Hangs o're the reprobates And as for those that take my Lines amis And will be pleas'd to be displeas'd with this For groats a peece nay lesse for three pence either I 'le giue them all leaue to to be Hang'd together Since Hanging then is prou'd so naturall So beneficiall so generall So apt so necessary and so fit Our reason tels vs we should honour it It is a good mans life and 't is their death That rob and rifle men of goods and breath This kind of Hanging all offences ends From which God euer blesse me and my friends I from the Hangman this conclusion draw He is the fatall period of the Law If theeues or traytours into mischiefe runne If he haue done with them then they haue done 'T is often seene that many haplesse men Haue beene condemn'd and Iudg'd reprieu'd agen And pardon'd haue committed new transgressions And in againe oft many a Size and Sessions When many warnings mend them not therefore Th● Hangman warnes them they offend no more Hee 's the Catastrophe and Epilogue Of many of the desperat Catalogue And he is one that cannot wanted be But still God keepe him farre enough from me THE DESCRIPTION of Tyburne I Haue heard sundry men oft times dispute Of trees that in one yeere will twice beare fruit But if a man note Tyburne 't will appeare That that 's a tree that beares twelue times a yeere I Muse it should so fruitfull be for why I vnderstand the root of it is drie It beares no leafe no blossome or no bud The raine that makes it fructifie is blond I further note the fruit which it produces Doth seldome serue for profitable vses Except the skilfull Surgions industry Doe make Defection or Anatomy It blossomes buds and beares all three together And in one houre doth liue and die and wither Like Sodome Apples they are in conceit For touch'd they turne to dust and
