O yes, IF any man or woman, in Countrey or in City, Can tell where liveth Charity or where abideth Pitty? Bring newes unto the Cryer, and their reward shall be The prayers of poore folkes every day, upon the humble knee. O yes, If any man hath gon so long unto the Law, That he hath lost his wits, and is not worth a straw, That to regaine the sad[d]le, is glad to loose the horse, Let them turne downe by Beggers-bush and rest at weeping-crosse. O yes, If any man there be, that loves the crafty Foxe, And yet the mumping Cunny, will firret with a poxe; Let him come to the Cryer, and for his just reward, He may dye in an Hospitall, and stinke within the Yarde.
O yes, If any loving Wench doth misse her Mayden-head, And knowes not where she lost it, abroad or in her bed, Let her come to the Cryer, and pay him for his paine, And tell the markes of it, and she shall have it straight againe. O yes, If there be any Ostler, has lately lost a Nagge, By lodging in his hay-mowe, of every Tag and Rag, And now is forst to pay fort, let him trust knaves no more:But now the Steed is stolne, be sure to shut the stable doore. O yes, If any Man or Woman, or Mayden, if she be, That hath by any sodaine chance, lost some small honesty, Let them come and demaund it, they shall have their desire, Without telling the markes of it, or paying of the Cryer.

O yes, IF any gentle Lady, in Court or in the City Hath lost all her Complexion, the Cryer in meere pitty, Hath got a box of beauty, the like was never seene, Fu[l]l of the purest Red and White, to cover blacke or greene. O yes. If any gallant Squires, who neare their bodies spare, In any great hot service, have strangely lost their hayre, Let them come to the Cryer, and straight he will them fit, With curled locks which like the best to cover all their wit. O yes, If there be any Cut-purse, that the last market day By chance did cut a Purse that went unwillingly astray, With twenty Pounds in money, let him forthwith appeare And if he chance to scape the rope, he shall have whipping cheere. O yes, If there be any Woman the which hath lost her tongue, To helpe her to recover it, would doe her husband wrong:For thus the good-man wishes, if that she be a scold, With all his hart that she might take an everlasting could.
O yes. If theres any man or woman, that can directly tell Wheres any Petty fogger, that takes no bribes, doth dwell, Bring word unto the Cryer, he shall be payd therefore, For he will never plead aright the causes of the poore. O yes, Or is there any here can tell me any newes, Where dwells an honest Broker, that never will refuse To take ten in the hundred, of such a one I pray Bring word to me I am his friend a twelvemonth and a day. O yes, If there be any man hath lately lost his Wife, Who never since she saw fifteene, did lead an honest life; Let him three market dayes expect to see his evill, Or mounted in a Cart, or else shees gon unto the devill. O yes, If there be any Lasse that will her skill engage. To finde a sucking Infant left, of twenty yeares of age; And let her bring him home, she shall be welly paide, And have her praises prickt & prickt, and sent away no Maide.
