Mother Who teach us what we should do one to another From frighting with fighting we care not a flea Our Innocence is like a Navy at Sea Which makes us so jocundly laugh and be merry With Cake bread and Ale c. We multiply not with unnatural heats Nor kiss by the strength of provocative meats Our lively plump Issue that spring from our beds Are fat fair and clear like young Cherubims heads Which fairly were got when we laugh'd and were merry By the help of good Ale c. We feel not the cares which attend upon Crowns Live free from the fears of great Cities and Towns We seek not for Honour with Sword Pike and Buff We all are contented and that 's wealth enough Not crafty with safety we laugh and are merry With Apples and Ale c. We make men revive with our Singing and Dances There 's no flesh alive like Fidelia and Frances At Trap-ball and Stool-ball Rebecca and Rachel Stephania doth stop well and Katey can catch well They trip it and lip it they laugh and are merry With Cheese-cakes and Ale c. With wild Curds and Custards with Cheese-cakes and Pies With Syder and Sugar Cream and Straw-berries Green Tanseys and White pots with Fish Fowl and Beast Our Table is spread at a Sheep-shearing Feast And then w'ar ' i' th' humour to laugh and he merry With Bag-pipe and Ale c. And thus have I giv'n you a tast of our Lives Our breeding our feeding our sports and our Wives Our innocence honesty musick and mirth That wait upon us from the day of our birth And how in our humours we laugh and are merry With Cakes and good Ale that 's as brown as a berry The Song being ended the Foot Marshal having placed the Assistants Livery and the Companies on both sides of Kings street and their Pensioners with their Targets hung on the tops of their Javelins in the Reer of them the Ensign bearers Drums and Fifes in the Front and hasten the Foyns and Budge-Batchellors together with the Gentlemen-Ushers to Guild hall where his Lordship is again saluted by the Artillery-Men with three Vollies more which concludes their Duty His Land-Attendants pass through the Gallery or Lane so made into Guild hall after which the Company repair to the Hall to Dinner and the several Silk-works and Triumphs are likewise conveyed into Blackwell-Hall and the Officers

Resident Embassadors and Envoys all the Lords of the Privy Council all the Principal Officers of State all the Judges and Serjeants at Law and their Ladies His Lordship and the Guests being all seated the City Musick begin to touch their Instruments with very artful fingers and after a Lesson being played and their Ears as well feasted as their Mouths an acute person with a good voice good humour and audible utterance the better to provoke digestion sings this New Droll Called The EPICURE Sung by one in the habit of a Town Gallant LET us drink and be merry dance Ioke and Rejoice With Claret and Sherry Theorbo and Voice The changeable World to our Ioy is unjust All Treasure uncertain then down with your dust In Frollicks dispose your pounds shillings and pence For we shall be nothing a hundred year hence Wee 'l kiss and be free with Nan Betty and Philly Have Oysters and Lobsters and Maids by the Belly Fish Dinners will make a Lass spring like a flea Dame Venùs Love's G●dess was born of the sea With her and with Bacchus wee 'll tickle the sence For we shall be past it a hundred year hence Your most beautiful Bit that hath all Eyes upon her That her Honesty sells for a hogo of Honour Whose Lightness and Brightness doth shine in such splendor That none but the Stars are thought fit to attend her Though now she be pleasant and sweet to the sence Will be damnable mouldy a hundred year hence Then why should we turmoil in Cares and in Fears Turn all our Tranquillity to Sighs and Tears Let 's eat drink and play till the Worins do corrupt us 'T is certain that post mortem nulla Voluptas Let 's deal with our Damsels that we may from thence Have Broods to succeed us a hundred year hence The Usurer that in the hundred takes Twenty Who wants in his Wealth and doth pine in his Plenty Lays up for a season which he shall ne'r see The Year of One thousand eight hundred and three His Wit and his Wealth his Law Learning and sence Shall be turn'd into nothing a hundred year hence Your Chancery Lawyer who by Conscience thrives In spinning of Suits to the length of three Lives Such Suits which the Clients do wear out in slavery Whilst Pleader makes Conscience a Cloak for his knavery May boast of his subtlety i' th' Present Tense But Non est inventus a hundred year hence Your most Christian Mounsieur who rants it in Riot Not suffering his more Christian Neighbours live quiet Whose numberless Legions that to him belongs Consists of more Nations than Babel has Tongues Though num'rous as Dust in despight of defence Shall all lie in ashes a hundred year hence We mind not the Counsels of such Bloody Elves Let us set foot to foot and be true to our selves Our Honesty from our Good-fellowship springs We aim at no selfish preposterous things Wee 'll seek no preferment by subtle pretence Since all shall be nothing a hundred year hence This frollick being ended and well approved of a hearty Cup of Wine is set round the Table in the mean time the Musick express their skill in playing divers new sprightly Airs whilst another Musician with a Cup of Sack puts his Pipe in Tune to sing this ensuing Song YOV that delight in Wit and Mirth And love to hear such News That come from all parts of the Earth Turks Dutch and Danes and Jews I 'll send ye to the Rendezvouz Where it is smoaking new Go bear it at a Coffee-House It cannot but be true There Battails and Sea-fights are fought And bloudy Plots displaid They know more things than ere was thought Or ever was bewray'd No money in the Minting House Is half so bright and new And coming from the Coffee-House It cannot but be true Before the Navies fell to work They knew who should be winner They there can tell ye what the Turk Last Sunday had to Dinner Who last did cut Du Ruiters Corns Amongst his Iovial Crew Or who first gave the Devil borns Which cannot but be true A Fisher man did boldly tell And strongly did avouch He caught a shole of Mackarell That parley'd all in Dutch And cry'd out Yaw yaw yaw min hares And as the draught they drew They stunk for fear that Monk was there This sounds as if 't were true There 's nothing done in all the World From Monarch to the Mouse But every day or night 't is hurl'd Into the Coffee-House What Lilly or what Booker cou'd By Art not bring about At Coffee-House you 'll find a brood Can quickly find it out They know who shall in times to come Be either made or undone From great St. Peter's-street in Rome To Turnbal-street in London And likewise tell at Clerken-well What Whore hath greatest gain And in that place what brazen face Doth wear a golden Chain They know all that is good or hurt To damn ye or to save ye There is the Colledge and the Court The Country Camp and Navy So great an Vniversity I think there ne'r was any In which you may a Scholar be For spending of a penny Here men do talk of every thing With large and liberal lungs Like Women at a Gossiping With double tire of tongues They 'll give a Broadside presently ' Soon as you are in view With stories that you 'll wonder at Which they will swear are true You shall know there what fashions are How Perriwiggs are Curld And for a penny you shall hear All Novels in the World Both old and young and great and small And rich and poor you 'l see Therefore let 's to the Coffee all Come all away with me Dinner being ended and Night approaching His Lordship being attended by a private Retinue of his own Company takes Coach and is Conducted to his Mansion-House wihout that troublesome Night Ceremony which hath been formerly when St. Pauls Church was standing when his Lordship is Housed those that attend on him depart with Order and Conveniency and the Triumphs and Silk-works are by the Care of the Masters Artificers lodged for that Night in Blackwell-Hall till the next day following and then they are to be conveyed to Drapers-Hall To close up all the Artists and the Artificers each of them deserving ample Commendations bid you Good-night FINIS
