The GOOD-FELLOWS Resolution OR The Bad Husbands Return from his Folly Being a Caveat for all Spend-Thrifts to beware of the Main Chance Here in this Ballad you may see The vain ness bad Husbandry Good Advice here is to be found The which may save you many a Pound By T. Lanfiere To the Tune of The Plow-Mans Honour made known Drink t'other Bowl I 'le follow thee I Have been a bad Husband this full fifteen year And have spent many pounds in good Ale strong beer I have Ranted in Ale-houses day after day And wasted my time and my Money away But now I 'le beware and have a great care Left at the last Poverty falls to my share For now I will lay up my Money in store And I never will play the bad Husband no more Too long I have lived in this idle course In spending my money which hath made me the worse When as I had got Silver plentifully I did not regard how fast I let it flye For sometimes I 've spend and sometimes I've Lend But the longest day now I see must have an end For now c. Sometimes in the Ale-house a week I would sit If I with Good-fellows did chance for to meet Vntill all my Money was wasted and gone Then it was high time to turn out and go home My proud Hostis she would look scornful on me And tell me she did not love such Company But now c. Doll Cleanly that lives in the middle of the Town Hath first and last of me had many a Crown If then I did come to her and bring store of Money And call apace for Drink on me she 'd look bonny Both Early and Late a Boozing I have sat But my Hostis and I now is in great Debate For now c. Too much unto Gameing my self I would use There was no kind of Exercise I did Refuse A Crown or an Angle I have lost on a day Which would have been better kept then thrown away Then Beer it was plenty no Flaggons stood empty Sometimes on the Board stood full eighteen or twenty But now c. Such idle courses I us'd always to take For little account of my Money I 've make I would call for strong tipple and make my heart merry But now of such actions truly I am weary Though thred-bare I went with my cloaths torn rent Yet I to the Ale-house would always frequent But now c. My Landladys they would seem loving to be If that they saw Money was plenty with me But if that I had none at all for to show They would look coy on me as if they did not me know And if so be that I was never so dry To trust me a Flaggon some Whores would deny But now I will lay up my Money in store And I will never play the bad Husband no more I Went to an Hostis where I us'd to resort And I made her believe that money was short I aske her to trust me but she answered nay Enough of such Guests I can have every day Then quoth she pray forbear there 's no staying here Except you have money you shall have no Beer But now c. I pull'd out a handful of Money straightway And shew'd it unto her to hear what she 'd say Quoth she you shall have Beer and ale of the best You are kindly welcome I did speak but in jest O no no said I your words I defie I 'le see you hang'd e're with you I 'le spend a penny But now c. Thus here you may see and observe it full plain The Ale-wives and inn-keepers all are for gain If a man on them spends all that e're he hath got He shall have no thanks but be counted a Sot To you they 'l seem kind whilst you can them Cash find But when you have spent all they will change their mind But now c. If I had but sav'd half the money I have spent How it would rejoyce my heart with much content But since 't is all gone farewel unto it Henceforth I 'm resolved for to learn more wit My folly I see in spending so free The Ale-wives no more my Purse-bearers shall be For now c. Then bad Husbands of the main chance have a care Left Poverty comes on you e're you are aware Take heed how idly your Money you spend Make much of that little which God doth you lend Endeavour always your stock for to raise Then of honest people you will have the praise Strive for c. To conclude take my counsel do not it restrain You 'l find it will be for your profit and gain Whilst you are young and lusty strive to get and save Then things necessary in old age you 'l have Be sure do not waste left you want at last Those that plays in Summer in Winter must fast Then learn for to lay up your money in store Resolve for to play the bad Husband no more Printed for F.
