WHen this Old Cap was new, tis since two hundred yeere, No malice then we knew, but all things plentie were:All friendship now decayes, (beleeve me, this is true) Which was not in those dayes, when this old Cap was new. The Nobles of our Land were much delighted then, To have at their command a Crue of lustie Men, Which by their Coats were knowne, of Tawnie, Red, or Blue, With Crests on their sleeves showne, when this old Cap was new. Now Pride hath banisht all, unto our Lands reproach, When he whose meanes is small, maintaines both Horse and Coach:In stead of an hundred Men, the Coach allowes but two; This was not thought on then, when this old Cap was new.
Good Hospitalitie was cherisht then of many; Now poore men starve and die, and are not helpt by any:For Charitie waxeth cold, and Love is found in few:This was not in time of old, when this old Cap was new. Where ever you traveld then, you might meet on the way Brave Knights and Gentlemen, clad in their Countrey Gray, That courteous would appeare, and kindly welcome you:No Puritans then were, when this old Cap was new. Our Ladies in those dayes in civill Habit went, Broad-Cloth was then worth prayse, and gave the best content:French Fashions then were scornd, fond Fangles then none knew. Then Modestie Women adornd, when this old Cap was new.

A Man might then behold, at Christmas, in each Hall, Good Fires, to curbe the Cold, and Meat for great and small:The Neighbors were friendly bidden, and all had welcome true, The poore from the Gates were not chidden, when this old Cap was new. Blacke Jackes to every man were filld with Wine and Beere, No Pewter Pot nor Kanne in those dayes did appeare:Good cheare in a Noble-mans house was counted a seemely shew, We wanted no Brawne nor Sowse, when this old Cap was new. We tooke not such delight in Cups of Silver fine, None under the degree of a Knight, in Plate drunke Beere or Wine:Now each Mechanicall man hath a Cup-boord of Plate, for a shew, Which was a rare thing then, when this old Cap was new. Then Briberie was unborne, no Simonie men did use, Christians did Usurie scorne, devisd among the Jewes,
Then Lawyers to be Feed, at that time hardly knew, For man with man agreed, when this old Cap was new. No Captaine then carowst, nor spent poore Souldiers Pay, They were not so abusd, as they are at this day:Of seven dayes they make eight, to keepe from them their due: Poore Souldiers had their right, when this old Cap was new. Which made them forward still to goe, although not prest: And going with good will, their fortunes were the best. Our English then in fight did forraine Foes subdue, And forst them all to flight, when this old Cap was new. God save our gracious King, and send him long to live, Lord, mischiefe on them bring, that will not their Almes give[,] But seeke to rob the Poore of that which is their due: This was not in time of yore, when this old Cap was new.
