TO you that have bad tokens, this matter I indight, Yet nothing shall be spoken, that shall your minds afright: Be silent therefore and stand still, marke what proceedeth from my Quill: I speake of tokens good and ill, and such as are not right. But first Ile have you understand, before that I doe passe, That there are many tokens which are not made of brasse, It is a token of my love, that I to you this matter move; For many tokens bad doe proove, we see in every place. Yet by all signes and tokens, as I may judge or thinke, The man that hath lost both his eyes, he cannot chuse but winke; But some will winke when they may see, but that is nothing unto me: Some shut their eyes to have a fee, which are in love with chinke.
He that hath gaind much silver, and doth possesse much gold, Its a token that he shall be rich, if he his substance hold: But he that hath but little store, and spendeth all and something more, Its a token that he shall dye poore, to sayt you may be bold. He that is a very foole, and wisedome doth despise, Its a token that he shall be old if he live till he be wise: And he that hath great store of wit, and maketh no right use of it, Its atoken that he is unfit in honour to arise. But this is a bad token, marke well what I shall say: When a young man hath a handsome wife and lets her run astray, It is a token she will be naught, and quickly unto lewdnesse brought, If that she be no better taught, sheell bring him to decay.

HEe that hath a fiery nose, which lookes like Claret red; Its a token then he doth consume in drinke more then in bread: For if his nose be fiery hot, its a token that he loves the pot: He hates small drinke and loves it not, he hath not so beene fed. Then faire fall all good tokens, now it comes into mind: Marke which way fits the Wether-cocke, and that way blowes the wind: Marke which way rowles a Wantons eye, and something you may see there by; Or if you please then you may trie, and so the truth may finde. He that hath livd in wickednesse, and doth in vice remaine, It is a token he hath no care to free his soule from paine: When Conscience doth on Crutches creepe its a token Truth is lulld asleepe, Which makes poore men in dangers deepe to call and cry in vaine. But this is a token of a truth, which doth betoken ill: An angry wife will worke much woe, but shee will have her will:
For if she chance to bend her browe, or seeme to looke I know not how Its a token she will scold I vow, her tongue will not lye still. But this is a true token, then marke my word aright: When Sol is setting in the West the world will lose her light. So when an old mans head growes gray, he may thinke on his dying day: For to the grave he must away and bid the world good night. He that hath a wandring eye, and loves lewd women deare, Its a token that heele prove a knave: But Ile tell you in your eare For sure you never saw the like a Souldier loves to tosse a pike: The Tapster drawes but dares not strike which doth betoken feare. Then faire fall all good tokens and well fare a good heart: For by all signes and tokens tis time for to depart: And now its time to end my song I hope I have done no man wrong: For he that cannot rule his tongue shall feele a greater smart.
