IF that you will heare a ditty, that wanteth both reason and rime: Marke and I thinke I shall fit yee, for expence of this idle time: The Author although it be foolish, he will not his ditty disdaine. Kind parents refuse not their Orfants, although they be crooked and lame. I tender the case of a Begger, much more doe I pitty a King, The ones a contemned creature, the others a royall thing: Want onely a Begger distresseth, but a King lives in manifold dangers, Care and feare his brest still possesseth, as well of his Subjects as strangers. Let a Begger live never so loosely, his life and his calling agree: Though a King rule never so wisely, his Subjects some faults will espie. The mier is sooner perceived, that on the white Swan doth remaine: Though a Crow in the durt be bedabled, his C[?a]ler it will never staine. The briske Sickafanticall Courtier, that by begging Monopolies rise: Yet are not so deepe in my favone, as the Plough-man that many despise: He's the cheifest prop of a Nation, though his haviour & rayment be plain He begges of the King no pension, nor lives he on others mens paine.
And if he grow rich in his calling, tis alone by the fruite of hi[s] [l]abour: When that one by anothers falling, Courtiers clime into place and favour: Their alone and best observation, is to flatter & cloake with the Mighty: Unles by phantasticall fashion, he insinuate the love of some Lady. The Knights and the Gentry that meddles with businesse belonging to Hindes: I detest them of all sorts of people, for their base and degenerate mindes: Since Knights become clownes and the gentry gan meddle in matters so base: Clownes are become Knights & are sawsy to intrude into Gentle mens place. I like not a Country Justice, when's fingers in every mans cause: Nor these prepostrous Atturnies, they doe so torment the Lawes: Yet the ones in majesteticall fashion, controuleth within his Commision: The others the bane of a Nation, and the brand that doth kindle sedition. Such a Justice receiveth more booties, from his neighbours that doe not agree, Then the King receives from them duties, brudes his Clarke he must have fee: Then give your Aturny your mony, his advice exceedes Ployden or Dyer: And follow his councell I warrant you recover, or finde him a Lyer.

I Love not a raedie tongued Lawyer, hee's so full of demurrs and delayes: Nor yet a trecherous Armenian, though he turn up his eies when he praies: Yet both they have holy directions, for the Angells the Lawyers do guide: And the Spirits the Armenians instruction, lest he from his matter should slide. A Lawyers tongue like to a feather, will wave any way for a fee: But rage and affection may sever, a Priest of this sekt we oft see: Then the Spirit must needes be evill, that this Priest from his text so doth lead: And the Angells proseede from the divill, that Lawyers gainst truth cause to pleade. Your fine Gentlewomen and Ladies, that paint when their beauties decay: And your Citizens wives that like babies, are trickt up in trime aray: When they to better their feature, and their beauty far passed amend, They becom apes of reasonable cretures, & their Husbands the w[ur]kho[rn]e doth lend. The trades-men that dwell in the Cittie, and tiffetie tafferie weare: I wonder how they grow so welthie, and yet never gaine by their ware: Thei'le sell it for lesse then they bought it, or promise to give you the bying From whence proceeds then their profit, I thinke they doe gaine by their lying. I scorne a Thrasonicall Souldier, when his vallour in Tavernes he showes, And a leane pedanticall Usher, when's legges are too little for's hose:
And yet though I like not I care not, let Souldiers use drinking & drabbing: And Ladies use Ushers and spare not, I doe not love to be babling. I love not a Meger Phisition, although hee can jumble a potion: Nor yet a quacke-salveing Surgion, for hee smells of the seringe and Lotion: Yet the one juditiously endeth, our lives in the daies of opression: The other Artificially mendeth, the defect [of t]he cause of transgression. I hate a paraphrasticall Taylor, because hee purloynes our Aparrell. A base-farming-Punke and a Pander, that for sinfull comodities quarrell: Yet the punke deserves no comendation, she's neither true, honest, nor wise; Shee's the absolute bane of a nation, and doth all true vertue despise. A Parater, and a Delater, an Usurer, and a false Scribe: A Bawde, and a filthie Pander, and a Baliefe that maketh a bribe: I detest their wicked profession, for the Sumner, & Bawd live by evill: And the Delater by the statutes transgression deceives both the King and his people. And now I will come to Conclusion, for teadiousnesse oft proves abuse: An[d] if you can make right alusion, The composer needes frame no excuse: For of most of the sorts I have named, there are many both honest and wise: And many are much to be blamed, For their vild and detestable lives.
