F Rom Cornwal mount to London faire, to trie all fashions did I repaire, Soone came I to a Cornish Chuffe, Left by my father rich enough, Yet riches could not me content, Untill at London all was spent. The causes why I am so poore, Are Dice, Strong-waters, and a whore. First did I come to Charing-crosse, Where was such smoking none could passe, Brave Gallants there my sight opposes, Fum'd hospitalitie from their noses: To trie those fashions that were there, Five angels cost that day was deere. The causes, etc. From thence unto the new Exchange My purse and I did freely range, Whereas a new beginner sold Strong waters new, and Tobacco old: With him at Doublets did I play, Till five more Angels flew away. The causes, etc. Then thinking London for to see, within the Strand I chanc't to spie Two lovely lasses faire and bright, whom I do guesse were painted white: These did I court, and they gave leave, But they at last did me deceive. The causes, etc. At Temple-barre I chanc't to spie Brave guilded glasses that pleasd mine eye, What t'was, I askt the next I did meet,
Who told me it was strong waters sweet All the varietie did I taste: That day I full five pound did waste. The causes, etc. Form thence next day to Fleet-street brave, where I espied many a knave: One among the rest I spied than, who swore he was my country man: With him to Taverne did I goe: But dice & cards there wrought my woe. The causes, etc. Then the old Baily did I trace, where I did meet full face to face A Cheater pleading povertie, who askt, if a gold ring I would buy: Five silver tagges, which I poore asse, Bought that for good which prov'd but brasse. The causes, etc. Then thinking for to see a play. I met a Pander by the way: Who thinking I had money store, Brought me to Turnboll to a whore: Ere from that house I rid could be, It cost ten pound my setting free. The causes, etc. Most of my money being spent, To S. Johns street to the Bull I went, Where I the roaring Rimer saw, And to my face was made a daw: And pressing forth among the folke, I lost my purse, my hat and cloke. The causes, etc.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second Part.</hi> </seg>
T Hen into Smithfield did I hie, where I Strong-waters did espie: From that same shop I could not part: For I loved strong waters with my hart: Going to pay, my purse was gone, For which groat shot my shirt's in pawn. The causes, etc. Then to Long-lane I went poore man, And so from thence to Barbican: Money was spent, and my credit scant, And no-body there would releeve my want, Then did I trace to Whitecrosse street, wondred at by all I meet. The causes, etc. Wandring along this lucklesse day, In a noted house by chance I lay: Where as a wench both faire and fine, Lov'd me in hope I had store of coine: But when she perceiv'd me poore, She stript, and beat me out of doore. The causes, etc. Thus all along in piteous plight walkt I along till twelve at night: Each one did barre their churlish doore, None would regard me being poore: The watch being set, and I in sight, was sent to new Bridewell that night. The causes, etc.
There was I set to worke full hard: From meae and drinke & pleasure hard: I could have no strong-waters there: Nor scarce a draught of good small beere, I wrought at mill by my fatall sisters, Till both my hands were ful of blisters. The causes, etc. There lay I long in griefe and woe, For by no meanes I thence could goe: No friend would speake in this my plight, Till I was there a full fortnight: At length a friend I chanc't to see, who wrought the meanes to set me free. The causes, etc. Now to my countrey doe I hie: London and fashions I defie: Farewell damd dice, & strong waters cleere: Farewell all punkes and double beere: I am for Cornwall freely bound: For London doth my state confound: There by these three I was made poore: The Dice, Strong waters, and a whore.
