AMong the nine Muses if any there be that unto good fellowship friendly adhere, Let them give asistance this time unto me, for I in this ditty intend to preferre A thing thats beloved of rich and of poore, It is well approoved, theres reason therefore, My due approbation shall evermore be In the commendation of good ipse hee. All sorts and conditions the high and the lowe, although not alike yet all in some measure, Unto this my theame their affection will showe, according as they have time, stomack, or trea-sure: Theres few live so purely, but they now and then Will sip it demurely both women and men, Both marryd and simple doe joyntly agree, To fuddle their noses with good ipse he. Both Lawyers & cliants that come to the terme, how ere the case goes of one thing I am sure, Before any businesse can be setld firme, good liquor & money the meanes must procure, A Taverne barre often, makes peace ere they part,
Canary can soften a plaintiffes hard heart, Their glasses they sup off, and make merry glee, Such power hath a cup of good good ipse he. The Taylor coms rubbing his hands in the morn, and calls for a cup of the But next the wall, Be it of the Grape or the Barley Corne, heele drinke out his breakfast his dinner & all, Hee sayes call and spare not, Ile goe thorough stitch, Hang pinshing I care not for being too rich: John Blacks a good fellow, and he alowes me To make my selfe mellow with good ipse hee. The merry Shoo-maker when tis a hard frost, sayes he cannot work for his waxe it is frozen, Fayth what shall we doe, let us goe to our Host and make our selves merry with each a halfe dozen, With this resolution, they purpose to thrive, But ere the conclusion, that number proves five, They sing merry catches, few trades men that be, Are Shoo-makers matches at good ipse hee.

THe Mason and bricklayers are somer birds, the Winter to them is a time of vacation: Then they & their laborours live on their words, unlesse (like the Ant) they have made prepara-tion, And yet though they have not, they nerethelesse thinke, Tush what if we save not, must we have no drinke, Weele pawne tray and shovle, and more if neede be, Our noses to fuddle with good ipse hee. Grim Vulcan the black-smith is chief of al trades then think you that hel be in drinking inferiour. No truely when hees with his merry comrades, heele laugh and sing ditties you never heard merrier, He cryes out hees hot, and still this is his note Come gis tother pot: heers a sparke in my throate, Hee calls and he payes, there is no man more free, He seldome long stayes from good ipse hee. The Tanner when he comes to Leaden-hall, after a hard journey wil make himselfe merry, He will have good liquor and welcome with all, the Bul for good beere and the naggs-head for shery, No bargaine shall stand, but what liquor doth seale, Quite throughout the Land, thus most tradesmen doe deale, In Taverne or Alehouse most matches made be, The first words where shall us finde good ipse hee. The London shopkeepers that cry what doe lack when they have sold wares & money have taken, Theyl give their chapman a pint oth best sacke, the price of it out of their money abating, The proverb observing they that money take
Must pay all the charges, this bargaine they make, Thus Liquor makes all men, most friendly agree, Both lowe men and tall men, love good ipse hee. The honest plain Husbandman when that he goes to fayre or to market with corne or with cattle:When he hath dispatcht he remembers his nose, how that must be armd as it were to a battle, Then like to a gallant to drinking he falls, Yet though hees pot valiant, he payes what he calls: He scornes reputation in that base degree, His chiefe recreation is good ipse hee. The generous Servingmen meeting each other as wel as their masters somtimes wil be merry, He thats a good fellow is lovd like a brother, with making him welcom they nere are weary Hee that is a clowne, as a clowne he may goe Quite thoroughout the towne, such a fellow theyle know: But those that are right will in union agree, By morn or by night at good ipse hee. In briefe thus it is which both women and men, so deerely affect that before they will lack it: Theyle pawne all they have nay & so now & then, gown, kirtle, or wastcoate, cloake breeches and jacket, Although they want victuall if they can get chinke, Beet never so little, tis most ont for drinke: The rich and the begger, the bond and the free Will oftentimes swagger at good ipse hee.
