I Reade in ancient times of yore, That men of worthy calling Build almes houses and Spittles store, Which now are all downe falling: And few men seeke them to repaire, Nor is there one among twenty, That for good deeds will take any care, While mock begger hall stands empty. Farme houses which their fathers built, And Land well kept by tillage, Their Prodigall sons have sold for gilt, In every Towne and village. To th City and Court they doe resort With gold and silver plenty, And there they spend their time in sport, While mock beggers hall stands empty. Young Landlords when to age they come, Their rents they will be racking, The tenant must give a golden sum, Or else he is turnd packing, Great fines and double rent beside, Or else theyl not content be, It is to maintaine their monstrous pride, While mock begger hall stands empty.
Their fathers went in homely frees, And good plaine broad-cloath breeches, Their stockings with the same agrees, Sowd on with good strong stitches. They were not then calld Gentlemen, Though they had wealth great plenty, Now every guls growne worshipfull, While mock begger hall stands empty. No gold nor silver parchment lace Was worne but by our Nobles, Nor would the honest harmlesse face, Weare Ruffes with so many doubles, Our bands were to our shirts sowne then, Yet cloath was full as plenty, Now one band hath more cloath than ten, While mock begger hall stands empty. Now we are Apes in imitation, The more indeeds the pitty, The City followes the Strangers fashion, The Countrey followes the City, And ere one fashion is knowne throughout, Another they will invent yee, Tis all your gallants study about, While mock beggers hall stands empty.

ME thinks it is a great reproach To those that are nobly descended, When for their pleasures cannot have a Coach, Wherewith they might be attended, But every beggerly Jacke and Gill That eate scant a good meale in twenty, Must thorow the streets be jolted still, While mock begger hall stands empty. Theres some are ratled thorow the streets, Probatum est, I tell it, Whose names are wrapt in parchment sheets, It grieves their hearts to spell it, They are not able two men to keepe, With a coachman they must content be, Which at playhouse doores in his box lies asleep, While mock begger hall stands empty. Our Gentlewomen whose meanes is nothing To that which they make shew of, Must use all the fashions in their cloathing, Which they can heare or know of, They take such care themselves to decke, That money is oft so scanty, The belly is forcd to complaine of the backe, While mock begger hall stands empty.
It may well be that some will muse, Wherefore in this relation, The name of Mocke begger I doe use, Whithout any explanation, To cleare which doubt before I end, Because they shall all content be, To shew the meaning I doe intend, Of mock begger hall still empty. Some Gentlemen and Citizens have In divers eminent places, Erected houses rich and brave, Which stood for the owners graces, Let any poore to such a doore Come, they expecting plenty, They there may ask till their throats are sore, For mock begger hall stands empty. Thus in these times we can perceive Small charity comfort yielding, For pride doth men of grace bereave, Not onely in cloathes but in building, Man makes the senselesse stones and bricke Which by heavens goodnesse lent be, Expresse his pride by those vaine tricks, Thus mock begger hall stands empty.
