C Ome listen to my Song, you that live far and near; A Warning unto old and Young I hope it will appear. The like you will not hear search you the World about, Of one both void of grace and fear, that with the Devil fought. Make Conscience in your ways, and do to no man wrong, For cursed Cheats and false Deceits do never prosper long. Of one call'd Dirty Doll , who for this Worldly pelf, 'Tis thought did much abuse her soul, and greatly wrong her self. But let none after this do actions so unjust:
For certain and undoubted 'tis we must return to Dust. Make Conscience in your waies, and do to no man wrong, For cursed cheats and false deceits do never prosper long. She ran a wicked course, which prov'd her deadly shame, Not having in the least remorse, or sorrow for the same. Till at the last it seems the Devil did appear, And in an ugly Hellish shape did unto her draw near. Make Conscience in your waies, and do to no man wrong, For cursed cheats and false deceits do never prosper long.
Amaz'd she was at first this dreadful sight to see; That he who is for ever curst so near to her should be: A quarrel did arise, as many people say, And Doll was bruis'd and batter'd too extreamly in the fray. Make Conscience in your waies, and do to no man wrong, For cursed cheats and false deceits do never prosper long. Most sadly she was beat, in a sad plight was she, One Arm it was as black as jet, as many people see: So that at last she dy'd a sinfull Soul I fear, Not one do give her a good word that I do come a near. Make Conscience etc. But such a Funeral you ne'r did hear nor see, For old and young, both great & small rejoyced seem'd to be. Oh there goes Dirty Doll , aloud the people cry'd,
Now she will grind the poor no more 'tis well for them she dy'd. Make Conscience etc. Extortion is a thing by Heaven is quite forbid; And often doth to ruin bring; such sins will not lye hid: And those that pinch the poor, who of them stand in need, Will surely punish'd be therefore, for 'tis a wicked deed. Make Conscience etc. Lord! grant that we who here are left, and stay behind, May alwaies live in godly fear, then may we comfort find; And happy will it be for us another day, If we with-all, both great and small do not unjustly play. Make Conscience in your waies, and do to no man wrong, For cursed cheats and false deceits do never prosper long.
