AS I passd by this other day, where Sacke and Clarret spring; I heard a mad crew by the way, that lowd did laugh and sing, High downe, dery dery downe, with the hackney Coaches downe; Tis cryd aloud They make such a Crowd, Men cannot passe the Towne. The Boyes that brew strong Ale, and care not how the world doth swing; So bonny, blith, and Joviall are, their lives are drinke and sing, Hey downe, dery dery downe, With the hackney Coaches downe, To make them roome, They may freely come, And liquor the thirsty Towne. The Collier hes a sack of mirth, and though as black as soote, Yet still he tunes, and whistles forth, And this is all the Note. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, With the hackney Coaches downe: They long made fooles Of poore Carry-coales, But now must leave the towne. The Carriers of every Shire, are as from cares immune: So Joviall is this packe-horse Quire, and this is all their tune.
Hey downe, dery dery downe, With the hackney Coaches downe, Farewell, adew, To the Jumping Crew, For they must leave the towne. Although the Carman had a cold, he streind his March-bird voice, And with the best a part did hold to sing and to rejoyce. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the hackney Coaches downe: The Carmens Cars, And the Merchants Wares May passe along the towne. The very Slugs did pipe for Joy, that Coachmen hence should hye, And that the Coaches must away a mellowing up to lye. Hey downe, dery dery downe, With the hackney Coach-men downe, Passe they their scope, As round as a rope, Weel Jogge them forth of towne. Permonters, and the Informes, that oft offences hatch; In all our times the Money-wormes, and they are for the catch. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, With the hackney Coaches downe, For these Restraints, Will with Complaints, [Fill all the noisy towne.]
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The second part To the same tune.</hi></seg>
THe world no more shall run on wheels, with Coach-men ast has done; But they must take them to their heeles, and try how they can run. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the Hackney Coaches downe: Wee thought theyd burst, Their Pride since first Swelld so within the Towne. The Sedan does (like Atlas) hope to carry heaven pick-pack: And likewise since he has such scope to beare the Towne ats back. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the Hackney Coach-men downe: Arise Sedan, Thou shalt be the Man To beare us about the Towne. I love Sedans cause they doe plod, and amble every where, Which Prancers are with Leather shod, and neere disturbe the eare. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the Hackney Coaches downe: Their Jumpings make The Pavement shake, Their noyse doth mad the Towne. The Elder Brother shall take place, the Youngest Brother rise: The middle Brothers out of grace, and every Tradesman cryes. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the Hackney Coaches downe, Twould save much hurt, Spare dust, and durt, Were they cleane out of Towne. The Sick, the Weake, the Lame also, a Coach for ease might beg: When they on foot might lightly goe, that are as Rights my Leg. Heigh down[e, dery dery] downe,
with the hackney Coaches downe: Lets foot it out, Ere the yeare comes about, Twill save us many a Crowne. What though we trip ore boots and shoes, twill ease the prise of Leather: We shall get twice, what once we loose, when they doe fall together. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the hackney Coaches downe; Though one Trade fall, Yet in generall, Tis a good to all the Towne. Tis an undoing unto none that a Profession use: Tis good for all, not hurt to one, considering the abuse. Then heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the hackney Coaches downe: Tis so Decreed By a Royall Deed, To maket a happy Towne. Coach-makers may use many Trades, and get enough of meanes: And Coach-men may turne off their Jades, and helps to draine the Fens. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the hackney Coaches downe: The Sythe, and Flayle, Cart, and Plow-tayle Doe want them out of Towne. But to conclude, tis true, I heare theyl soone be out of Fashion, Tis thought, they very likely are to have a long Vacation. Heigh downe, dery dery downe, with the hackney Coaches downe: Their Termes neere done, And shall be begun No more in London Towne.
