WIth bleeding heart of heaviness, my dying moan I make, For since the laws I did transgress, this world I must forsake: The dreadful day is come at last at which I am dismay'd, And troubl'd am for what is past: farewel the Coyning-trade. Why did I thus increase my store, by such a crying sin? Whose bags were full enough before, had I contented been, But O! my gready, gready heart, no conscience could perswade, With life and riches I must part: farewel the Coyning-trade. While here I did to riches rise, I swell'd with pride indeed, And often look'd with scornful eyes, on those that stood in need; So that I lost the love of all, the World does me degrade, They triumph at my fatal fall, by my late Coyning-trade. With such a peice of vanity, the World shall seldom meet, as when with crowns I boasted I could pave all Peter's street; This pride will have a fall I find, and in the dust be laid, My riches I must leave behind: farewel the Coyning-trade. The wicked deed which I have done, I do repent too late; My glass of life is almost run, oh! most unhappy fate, I must be now this very day, a sad example made, I having wrought my life's decay: farewel the Coyning-trade.
In westminster, it is well known, I many years did dwell, But I myself have overthrown, for want of doing well; Had it not been for cursed gold, I there might still have staid, But now pale Death I do behold: farewel the Coyning-trade. Kind loving Friends be warn'd by me, you that Spectators are, A peice of bread with honesty, is better then rich fare, That's got by such unlawful ways, as mony falsely made, For that has shorten'd now my days: farewel the Coyning-trade. My Children does their grief express in melting tears, for why I am their Father ne'er the less, tho' by the laws I dye; Nature obliges them to grieve, yet all that can be said, With sighs of them I take my leave: farewel the Coyning-trade. How bitter is the thoughts of Death, which stare's me in the face, For now I must reside my breath, in shame and sad disgrace, While few or none will pity me, because such pranks I play'd, Therefore no hope of life I see: farewel the Coyning-trade. The latter minute is at hand, farewel the World affairs; All you that now Spectators stand, assit me with your prayers: Into eternity I go, God grant my peace be made, Since Coyning wrought my overthrow, farewel that wicked trade.
