the damned in And tell the ouerglutted Epicure Whose ease delighteth but in fat and froth When he in hell shall hourely toyle endure And haue his wages in vnwholesome broth When boyling leade shall doe his guts no good When hee shall starue or gnawe his flesh for food Be sullen loure and skowle at knaues and fooles That walking come by thee like men of worth And send the scoldes vnto the cucking stooles And bring the beggers with their wallets foorth And sweepe the streetes from all the cheating mates And take heed of the horne beasts in the gates Runne all about among the rascall people And beat the beggers from the rich mens doores And goe from Charing Crosse vnto Paules steeple And clense the streetes of all the knaues and whores Kill all the dogges for feare of their faction And send the idle roagues vnto â—â—rection Scoure all the coasts Kent street and Clarken well Wapping East Smithfield Chick lane Turnhole street Pickthatche the Spittle Shorditch and Halliwell And all the by-lanes where the Baudes doe meet And Tuttill street S. Giles and Islington And make a steppe ouer to Newington All scolding Allies and such scuruey places And take them as thou find'st them euery where Bring out the Punkes with all their pockie faces The purple tawnie round and russer haire Set vp a stake and bring rhe Refuse thether And make a Bonefire of them all together Make much of none but true kind hearted wenches That would be honest if they could tell how But meddle with no great ones on their benches For feare of worse hurt then a broken brow Yet if thou see'st a knacke of knauery goe Thinke what thou list although thou say not so Barke at a Traytor sawne not on a theefe Tell them the halter hangs right in their way And tell rhe Butcher when hee buyes his beefe The hornes may helpe to make the hide away And watch the least good fortune may befall For greedy hounds will haue the deuill and all Or with Diogenes goe seeke and see If by a Lanthorne and a Candle light Thou canst finde out where there may hidden be One honest man from wicked wordlings sight Or make a Suruey of old Timons trees Whether the pockie vvhores haue payde their fees Rayle at the world and hate it to the death And sâ—y it is but patience Purgatory A câ—â—â—red mouth that giues a cursed breath That sounds but sorrow death and misery Where he that can in his best sence conceiue it Thinkes himselfe neuer happy till hee leaue it But for the vertuous eyther high or low Honour and loue them though thou dost not know theÌ„ But for the vitious let the villaines goe Downe to the hell a blast of whirlewinde blow them Yet vvish them not to hell but somewhat better Although thou knowest they be the Hangmans debter Fret till the flesh bee bare vnto the bones To see thy spirit so thy body spend Sigh sob and swell with such deepe inward grones As heart would burst to see thou canst not mend Not mend a slender hurt nor little paine But heart all broke that cannot heale againe Bite hard thy lippes and shake thy troubled head And grate thy teeth vntill thy gummes doe bleede And looke as lumpish as a peece of lead And speake to no man but to serue thy neede Walke by thy selfe and seeke no company And hate the thought of hellish villanie For let rich Midas bee a golden asse And like a toade a dogged tyrant swell And Iudas with his poysoned spirit passe With all the cursed damned crue to hell Loue thou thy God and for the godly pray And so with all the world make holy day If that thou see a Begger grow to wealth Marke how he gets it and so giue him grace If honestly regarde him if by stealth Of villany wish him a viler place And yet alas in charitie pray for him Hell may not haue him though the heauens abhor hin And put on patience for it is but vaine To fret and fume and chafe and play the foole Let vs goe fall vpon some finer straine And bring our wits vnto some better schoole Entreat a little it may breedâ— good blood See if fayre words will I 〈◊〉 the world to good Entreat all knaues to turne all honest men And honest men they will be honest still Entreat no Cocke to treade his neighbours henne But let the Turtles kindly sit and bill Entreat the Tinker better stop his holes And Grim the Colier giue vs better coles Entreat the shepheard that doth sheare his sheepe Hee will not clip too low to cut the skinne And bid his woman that shee doe not weepe Because the mouse hath beene within her Binne Her husband will not feele it in his purse And sift the meale the bread is neere the worse Entreat the Geese and Ganders hold their peace There is not one wise word among them all And all the alley scoldes their brawling cease For t is a filthy thing to scolde and brawle And all fayre wenches that are beauties flowrse They will not be the Deuils Paramours Intreat the Asses for to leaue their braying The Peacocke that he will not stoupe his tayle And mad young wenches for to leaue their maying The milke mayde that shee looke vnto her payle The Stallion horse hee doe not beat the mare And greedy houndes they doe not kill the hare Now fie on fooles cap heere 's a dish of drinke To choke a dogge let all these toyes alone Let vs our selues of somewhat else bethinke That yet may doe some good when all is gone That though our bodies our of frame are growne Our spirits yet may not be ouerthrowne Then let vs leaue the world and go to Church And turne all Preachers true and holy men And while the Knaue doth giue the foole the lurch And plotters write with an vngodly penne Let vs deliuer by the word of truth The way to heauen both vnto age and youth Yea let vs reade the rules of sacred life Perswade the troubled soule to patience The husbands care and comfort to the wife The childe and seruant due obedience Faith to the friend and to the neighbour peace That loue may liue and suites at law may cease Pray for the health of all that are diseased Confession vnto all that are conuicted And patience vnto all that are displeased And comfort vnto all that are afflicted And mercy vnto all that haue offended And Grace to all that all may be amended Pray for the King the Queene and Countries health Their royall Issue and their Peeres of State The Councell Clergy and the common wealth That no misfortune may their blisse abate But that th' almighty so his Church will cherish That not a member of his loue may perish To King and Queene giue Rights of Royalty And for their vertues giue them worthy prayse Grace to the Prince the Subiect loyalty That all together may haue happy dayes The Councell wisdome
