When the Vsurer is weary of his gaine And the Farmer feedes the poore with his graine The Oyster leaues gaping for the tide And Lob. lolly will not daunce with his Bride When Prentizes had rather worke then play And Schollars cannot away with a holy-day When brabbles and quarrels all cease And Armies yeelde their Armies to peace And peace such a power hath won That Souldiers serue all with a Potgun When the Fletcher fals out with the Bolt And the wise must make cursie to a Dolt When the Night is brighter then the Day And the Cloudes driue the winde away When the Snow and the Frost are fire hot And the Costermongers Apples will not rot When the Asse shall make Musique to the Owle And the Slut will not weare her cloaths foule When the Ship shall throw away her saile And the Dogge shall leaue wagging of his taile And the Rabbets shall runne through the Hey And the Varmin makes the Warriner runne away When the Cat is afraid of the Mouse And the Beggar will walke without a Louse When Connies doe Castles vndermine And Lords must waite while Lobcockes dine And rich men weepe and Beggars sing And euery Knaue will be a King Vntill the Gallowes or the Whip Doe take a Villaine in a Trip When all things thus doe come to passe That by an Oxe and by an Asse The question shall decided be Why Dogges and Cats cannot agree When Mowles and Wormes do looke abroad And Snakes doe combat with the Toade The Fleyes will not abide the sheetes Nor idle people walke the streetes When thus the world doth come about Within the course of Colin Clout Which neuer man I hope shall see God knowes what then the world will be WHen the Winter to Summer turneth The Fire cooles and the water burneth When the Fly put the Eagle to her flight And the day holds a Candle to the night When the trees bend downe to the bushes And the Owle driues the Nightingale to hushes When the Hare fals to play with the Hound And the Worme scornes to creepe into the ground When the Aspe with the Wolfe makes a fray And the Mouse makes the Cat runne away When the Owle teacheth the Parrat to speake And the Goose makes the Gander to keake When the Market Crosse is without Corne And not a house will yeeld a man a horne When the Clouds commaund the winde to be still And the Valley will ouertop the hill When the Storke is afraid of the Frog And the Cur runs away from the Hog When the Beggars will leaue the high way And wantons will giue ouer play When a Moris-dance is without a foole And a foole be without a Ladle and a toole When rich wares will be at low rate And a Citty will runne out at the Gate The Sailer cannot away with a merry gale And the Constable is afraid of a pot of Ale When the Goose is mistaken for the Swan And the Goodwifeknowes not her good Man If the world were come to such a change The alteration would be very strange But rather then all should go so amisse Better be content with it as it is VVHen the day and the night do meete And the houses are euen with the streete And the fire and the water agree And blinde men haue power to see When the Wolfe and the Lambe liue togither And the blasted trees will not wither When the flood and the ebbe runne one way And the Sunne and the Moone are at a stay When Age and Youth are all one And the Miller creepes through the Mill-stone When the Ram butts the Butcher on the head And the liuing are buried with the dead VVhen the Cobler doth worke without his eends And the Cutpurse and the Hangman are friends Strange things will then be to see But I thinke it will neuer be VVHen the wind is alwaies in one place All Horses are of one Race And all Men are in one case When all words haue but one sence All Cases are in one tence And all Purses haue but one expence VVhen all hands do fit one Gloue All harts haue but one Loue And all Birds be but one Doue VVhen all wit is in one head And all Corne makes but one bread And all ease is in one bed When all Truth is in one hart And all Knowledge is in one art And all Diuisions are in one part When all sport is in one play When all feasts are in one day And all States are at one stay When all faces haue but one feature And all Spirits are of one Nature And all worth is in one Creature Such wonders will be then to see As out of doubt will neuer be WHen there is nothing but sorrow and care And the fieldes are all barren and bare And the Beggers haue a miserable share When the Markets are horrible deere There is nothing to drinke but small beere And the rich men keepe beggerly cheere When the Children are bawling and crying And old folkes are swearing and lying And sicke folkes are sighing and dying When Baiard is downe in the mire And the fat is all in the fire When loue hath lost his desire When Maisters do fall into rages And Seruants are vnpaid their wages And all their best clothes are in gages If euer it should come about To put the Cockes eies cleane out And then hope to reuell and rout Which I hope neuer to see But where all faire Gamsters be Good fellowes will kindly agree God knowes for I cannot tell Who then goes to Heauen or to Hell VVHen Preachers haue louing Auditors And Borrowers haue kind Creditors When Sutors petitions haue comfortable reading And Forma pauperis hath a fauourable pleading VVhen loue is the whole rule of life And the Good man loues none but his owne wife VVhen there is no spleene nor any spight But euery one keepes his owne right VVhen all is as plaine as the high-way And all goes by yea and by nay And one man so well loues another That there is nofalse Sister nor Brother No facing frowing nor fighting But one in another delighting No oddes twixt the Groome and the Bride No enuy nor mallice nor pride No punishment but for offences No care but all for expences No time spent but all businesse Nor sleeping but all in heauinesse No iarring but all in iesting No friendship but all in feasting No lawing brabling nor bribing No kind of scoffing nor gibing No painting of ill-fauored faces Nor seeking of true loues disgraces No tale but well worth the telling Nor sauour but well worth the smelling No Act but well worth the doing No Wench but well worth the woing If such a time were happily come To proue this true in all or some Who would not ioy in har● to see And pray it might so euer be WHen toies and trifles stand for treasure And pain mistaken stands for pleasure When lust mistaken is for loue A lack-daw for a Turtle-doue When Craft is
