AH, Woe is me that I was born, For I am now become the scorn Of all that did me once adore, Nay of the Rich and of the Poor : They all against the Tripe-Man cry, For Coyning he deserves to Dye. Oh why did I for Riches crnve, So hastily the same to have, Had I the Tripe- Trade only known, And left the Coyning Trade alone, Then I no Danger should have run; B ut Coyning has me quite undone . It's true I did great Riches gain, In Grandure did my self maintain; Altho' I was of mean degree , Yet thousands did admire me; For Gold and Silver I had store, But now I never shall Coyn more. In Peters-street where I did dwell, My Neighbours all did know full well, That I had boasted many a time To pave the Street with Silver Coyn; And oftentimes I them had told, My Yard too I could pave with Gold. My Country-house I call'd Tripe-Hall , Which was indeed admired by all; Where once a Week I still did go, B ut for what use there's did know ; Nor had not to this Dap i'me sure, Had I not told of the Trap-door.
Under my Garden I had made A Vault to keep the Coyning- Trade : A Trap-door in the Garden too, On which Currants and Goosberys grew Where many Neighbours oft have been A nd yet this Trap-door ne'er was seen . B ut now comes all my woe and grief , I'm fast in Newgate like a Thief; A nd at the Bar was fain to stand, For Coyning I held up my hand. A nd of th' indictment guilty found, Which does my Senses all confound. Had I the Tripe- Trade us'd alone, A nd nere the Coyning Money known; Of making Guineas and half Crowns Till I was worth some thousand pounds Then I from trouble had liv'd free, B ut now for Coyning I must Dye. Now B rother Tripe-men all take care, Least Riches draw you in a Snare; I mean Clipping and Coyning too, A s hundreds in this Town does do: B ut yet ere many Years are past, There's few but what are caught at last. Now Clippers, ay, and Coyners all, Changers of M oney great and small, Leave off your Trade ere't be too late, Leest you all share of my hard fate: I once thought none so great as I, B ut now for Coyning I must Die
