A LL men are inclinde, To follow their minde although their courses be bad. Some men will laugh And some men will quaffe, and some againe looke very sad. Other sorts there be, That love flattery, but they are base in my opinion, Your swaggerers will rore, And your knaves run on score, but your Welchman he still loves an Onyon. Your citizens fine, Love a cup of neat wine, their wivvs doe love good Canary, Your Lawyer he, Well loves a large fee, your Courtyier he loves to be merry: Your Gallants and Knights, For their sports and delights, will spend out their time amongst women: The sparkes of our age, In their drinke they will rage, but your Welchman he still loves an Onyon. The Merchants likewise, Though they seeme precise, yet they covet more wealth, and more pleasure: By crossing the Sea, Inriched are they, thus still multipled is their treasure
So they may get gaine, They care not for paine, but they are not of my opinion: Though small be my wealth, I pray still for health, but the Welchman he still loves an Onyon. The Taylors loves bread With a bottom of thred: his sheares, his needle and thimble: The sawyer his Saw, And the Miser loves Law, the Carpenter he loves his wimble: The Cooper his ads, The children their Dads, but this still is my chiefe opinion, To be merry and wise, And trust mine owne eyes, but the Welchman he still loves an Onyon. The Thrasher his flaile The Spa[nye]l his [?]lle, the Carman his whip and his whistle: The B[u]tcher his dogge, the Swineherd his hogge, the Bore delights for to bristle: the Rorer his wench, The Lecher the French, pray let them both packe with a winion: For I love my health, As the Farmer loves wealth, or the Welchman a peece of an Onyon.

Y Our pure-seeming man Will deceive if he can, Your Papist deales all in crosses, The Theefe lives by stealth On other mens wealth the Traveller endures great losses. But time gives free scope For the theefe to have a rope tis fit for him in my opinion, If you will shunne shame Then love your own fame, as a Welchman his Lake or his Onion. The Mercer loves Cloves, The Dutchwoman stoves, [the] Grocer's a man of some reason: The farmer loves [corn]e, And the hunstman his horne, the Unthrift doth spend out of season: The Weaver his Loome, The Miller his thumbe, thus all are of severall opinion, Give me good old Sherry I love to be merry, as well as the Welchman his Onion. The Usurer Gold, Idle Knaves endure cold, because that they wil not labour, The Fidler he fiddle, The Jester his riddle the Piper his pipe and his tabour, The Cobler his last, The Bowler his cast, thus men are of severall opinion, The fish loves the poole, And my Lady her foole, But the Welchman, etc.
The Smith loves his Hammer, And the Captaine his Drummer, The Soulder loves a good blade, The Pedler his packe, And the Collyer his Sacke, and the Horse-courser he loves a Jade. The Brazier his kettle, The Bell-sounder mettle addicted to severall opinions, The Broome-man loves Broome, And the Pope he loves Rome, but the Welchman, etc. The Dutchman loves Beere, And the Beareward his Beare, the Porter his frock and his Basket, My Mamesey nose Host Loves a pot and a toste, and the Landresse she loves a neat F[la]sket, The hangman the Gallowes, and all creating fellowes, deserveth in my opinion To end in that place, That lives by disgrace, But the Welchman he still loves an Onion. Let no body grudge, Nor ill of me judge because I have pend this same ditty. But let every man, These verses well scan, and if he please say they are pretty. But yet howsoever I doe not endeavour to please your base ones or coy minions: But to end my tale, I love good strong Ale as well as the Welchman loves Onions.
