H Eeres a health to all good fellowes, that intend with me to joyne, At the Taverne, or the Ale-house, and will freely spend their quoyne. But for such as hate strong liquor, are not for my company, O it makes my wits the quicker, when I taste it thorowly. I can fuddle, roare and swagger, sing and dance in severall sort, And give six pence to a begger, in all this there's little hurt. Whilst some churle thats worth a million, will give nought in charity, But to himselfe he proves a villaine: judge who's better he or I. There's many men get store of treasure, yet they live like very slaves: In this world they have no pleasure, the more they have, the more they crave. Hang such greedy-minded misers, that will ne'r contented be, I have heard by good advisers, that content lives merrily.
Wherefore should we live in sorrow, since we may imbrace true joy? To day alive, and dead to morrow, as most commonly they'll say. He is a foole that pines his carkais [if] he have to serve his turne, And perhaps sometimes in darkenesse, grafted is his head with horne. Hee's no right true-hearted fellow, that in company will drinke, Till such time as he is mellow, and not freely spend his chinke. Let such sharking base companions, be kickt out of company, For they be but beastly hang on's; and will call, but we must pay. Come my Lads, be blythe and merry, sing and drinke and trace your ground, And let's have a cup of Sherry; that (me thinks) goes kindly downe. Lets not spare whilst we have money, for to pay for what we call, We needs must spare when we have not any, that's the greatest plague of all.

H Onest Hugh , Tom , Will and Harry , they will joyne their money round, Kate, Nan, Besse and bouncing Mary , will not shrinke, but still are sound. They are Lads and honest Lasses, that to each others are kinde, They'l sing & roare, breake pots and glasses, when their heads are tipt with wine. Some mens wives will brawle & wrangle, if their husbands spend a pot, But my selfe I will intangle, with a Lasse to pay my shot. I doe hate these base conditions of a devillish scolding Queane, Jealous heads have bad suspition[s], you may thinke of w[hom I] meane. Women [kind] let [me] in[tre]at you, that you will n[ot br]awle and scold, For it makes your husbands beat you, some men will not be contrould, Therefore rest your selves contented: best I hold it so to be: In your minds be not tormented: but take part as well as he. Me thinkes it is a worldly pleasure, for to have a wife prove kind, Tis a joy beyond all measure, I my selfe the same doe finde. If I had a scolding creature, I should never merry be, Sure I many times should beat her, with her I could not agree.
Tapster, come and take thy reckoning, tell me kindly what's to pay, Yet Peeces in my pockets rattling, bidde me longer here to stay, Come bring a pipe of good Tobacco, let it be the very best, Thats the thing that here we take so, then come drinke with us thy guests. Hang up sorrow, I can borrow money for to buy two pots, Who can say to live to morrow? then let's never sit like sots. When I have spent away my money, I will goe and worke for more, And I have a kinde sweet hony that sometimes will pay my score. He that hath aboundant treasure, hence shall nothing beare away: Then let's take some part of pleasure, drinke and sing and freely pay. Whilst our time and money lasteth, let's not prove Curmudgeon boores, Time indeed away it hasteth: come let's goe and pay our scores, Thus for to conclude my Ditty, heeres a health to all true blades, Remembring, Kate, Nell, Sis, and Betty , and all other kinde true Maides: I love Meg, Nan, Alice, and Mary, Jane , and Jone , and my fine Doll , With Winifred , and my sweet Sara . Thus, kinde hearts, I leave you all.
