IN Summer time when folkes make Hay, All is not true which people say, The fooles the wisest in the play, tush take away your hand: The Fidlers boy hath broke his Base, Sirs is not this a pittious case, Most gallants loath to smell the Mace of Woodstreet. The Citty followes Courtly pride, Jone sweares she cannot John abide, Dicke weares a Dagger by his side. come tell us whats to pay: The Lawyers thrive by others fall, The weakest alwaies goes toth wall, The Shoomaker commandeth all ats pleasure. The Weaver prayes for Huswives store, A pretty woman was Jane Shore. Kicke the base Rascalls out oth doore: peace, peace, you bawling Curres. A Cuckolds band weares out behinde, Tis easie to beguile the blinde, All people are not of one minde, hold Carmen. Our women cut their haire like men, The Cockes ore-mastred by the Henne Theres hardly one good friend in ten, turne there on your right hand:
But few regard the cryes oth poore, Will spendeth all upon a whore, The Souldier longeth to goe ore, brave knocking. When the fifth Henry saild to France, Let me alone for a Countrey dance, Nell doth bewaile her lucklesse chance, fie on false hearted men: Dicke Tarleton was a merry wagge, Harke how that prating asse doth bragge, John Dory sold his ambling Nagge, for Kicke-shawes. The Saylor counts the Ship his house, Ile say no more but duns the Mouse, He is no man that scornes a Louse, vaine pride undoes the Land: Hard hearted men make Corne so deare, Few Frenchmen love well English beere, I hope ere long good newes to heare, hey Lusticke. Now hides are cheape, the Tanner thrives, Hang those base men that beate their wives. He needs must goe that the Devill drives, God blesse us from a Gun: The Beadles make the lame to runne, Vaunt not before the battailes wonne, A Cloud sometimes may hide the Sunne, chance medley.
The Second Part. To the same tune.
THy friend such lewdnesse soon will check, And tell thee thou art like to lacke, Heel bid thee alwaies have a care Of that which thou dost little feare, And that is, poverty will grow, Which thy true friend would not have so. The false and fained Flatterer Will seeke to trap thee in his snare, His words most sweet shall still appeare To get thy money, wine and beere: These are certaine signes to know A faithfull friend from a flattering foe. If that thy friend be true indeed, Heel not forsake thee in thy need, Heel take thy part in weale and woe, Thy flattering friend will not doe so: These are certaine signes to know A faithfull, etc. Now some perchance may this object, And say they are of the true Sect, But such Ile never trust till I Their inward thoughts doe prove and try, Then I certaine am to know A faithfull, etc. If that you want, then needs of force, For your reliefe youl take some course, Need stands behind and bids you goe, The kindnesse of mens hearts to know, And where once you have tryd it so, Youl know your friend, etc. Thy friend will wondrous sorry be To see thee fall to misery, And to his power heel give reliefe To ease thy dolour, woe and griefe: These are certaine signes to know A faithfull, etc.
Your faire tongud fawning hypocrite Will say that you were void of wit, To spend your meanes so foolishly, And lacke so long before you dye. These are certaine signes to know A faithfull, etc. Then this advice take then of me, Before need comes goe thou and see, Try whilst thou hast of thine owne, And see where favour may be showne: Then thou soone shalt finde and know A faithfull, etc. And looke where thou didst favour finde, There be not wavering like the winde, If that thy friend prove just and true, Then doe not change him for a new: Thus to all men I doe show The difference twix a friend and foe. For my part I may plainely say, That friends are apt for to decay, In wealth a man shall have great store, But very few if once growne poore: This I write for men to know A faithfull, etc. When I had meanes then I had friends, But now I want, their friendship ends, Now but few will take my part, Nor helpe release me of my smart: This I have writ for men to know A faithfull, etc. Thus to conclude and end my Song, Let me advise both old and young, If thou doe wish for many friends, Then have a care and get some meanes: Then you need not care to know A faithfull friend from a flattering foe.
