THe World is orerun with enormous abuse, Pure vertue and honesty do now decrease, One vice on the neck of another pursues, Tis growne to a custome that hardly will cease, but blessed is he who when he doth see Such vices inothers, reformed will be, For happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes. Then be well advisd whoever thou art, By other mens danger their wayes to forsake, And when thou seest any for his folly smart, Then see that good use of the same thou dost make: and when thou dost see how bad others bee, Say thou to thy selfe, heres example for mee. O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes.
If thou see a man who is proud and ambitious, Like soaring Phaeton strive to aspire, Presuming his Fates will be ever auspicious, He boldly will clime till he can go no higher: if fortune should frowne, he may tumble downe, Then heele be derided of every clowne, Thus happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes. If thou see a Gentleman strive for the wall, And hazard his life for a phantasie vaine, This is the occasion of many a brawll, But he thats a wiseman from that will refraine: tis better give place to one thats more base, Then hazard thy life in so desperate a case: O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes.

IF thou see a whoremonger passing at leasure, Halfe fearfull his legs will drop off by the knees, When every justle may do him displeasure, He hath been so stung with the Turnbull-street Bees. when thou seest his case, beware of that place, Which brings a man nothing but shame and disgrace: O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes. If thou see a man who hath been an ill liver, By hanging himselfe, to kill body and soule, Tis fit his example should make thee endeavour That thy heart nere harbour a project so foule, O what a vile shame he brings on his name, His children will after be twit with the same: O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes. If thou seest a Judge malefactors condemne For rapine or murder, or such haynous acts, Tis fit thou shouldst take an example by them, Who must by the Law suffer death for their facts: their wayes thou mayst flee, because thou dost see The reason, and therefore they hanged must be: O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes. If thou seest a drunkard come reeling ith street, And cutting crosse capers oft times through the durt, Still ready to quarrell with all he doth meet, Whereby he goes seldome to bed without hurt: O then thou mayst think comes all this through drink; Sure I from the Alehouse in good time will shrink. O Happy is he whom other etc.
If thou see a rogue to the Pillory brought For perjury or else some cousening feat, To looke on his punishment thou mayst be taught To live more uprightly, and use no deceit. if thou love thine eare, then do not come there To looke upon him may make thee to feare. O Happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes. If thou see a wealthy man grow very poore By passing his credit for other mens debts, Whereby hes constrayned to keepe within doore For feare lest a Sergeant ins clutches him gets, be therefore aware of this cruell snare: By suretiship many men beggerd are: But happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes. Thus every man who is willing to learn, Of other mens follies may make a good use. And by their just punishment he may return From vice unto vertue, reforming abuse, the which if he can, he is a blest man. And thus Ile conclude with the same I began, That happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware, and to shun Satans charmes.
