IF there were imployments for men, as have beene, And Drums, Pikes, and Muskets, i' th field to be seene, And every worthy Souldier, had truely their pay, Then might they be bolder, to sing care away. If there were no Rooking, but plaine dealing used, If honest Religion were no wayes abused, If pride in the Country did not beare sway, The poore and the Gentry might sing care away. If Farmers consider'd the dearenesse of graine, How honest poore Trades-men their charge should maintaine, And would bate the price on't of what we did pay, We should not be nice on't to sing care away.
If poore Tenants Land-lords would not racke their rents, Which oft is the cause of their great discontents: If againe good house-keeping in th' Land did beare sway, The poore that sits weeping, might sing care away. If to live uprightly all men were concurring, If Lawyers with clients would use no demurring, But kindly would use them for what they did pay, They need not sit musing, but sing care away. If spendthrifts were carefull and would leave their follies, Ebriety hating, Cards Dice, Bowling-alleyes, Or with wantons to dally by night or by day, Their wives might bee merry, and sing Care away.

IF Children to Parents would dutifull be, If servants with masters would deale faithfully, If Gallants poore Tradesmen would honestly pay, Then might they have comfort to sing Care away. There is no contentment to a conscience that's cleare, That man is most wretched a bad mind doth beare, To wrong his poore neighbour, by night or by day, He wants the true comfort, to sing Care away. But he that is ready by goodnesse to labour, In what he is able, to helpe his poore neigbour, The Lord will ever blesse him by night and by day, All joyes shall possesse him to sing Care away. Would wives with their husbands, and husbands with wives, In love and true friendship would so leade their lives, As best may be pleasing, to God night and day, Then they with hearts easing, might sing Care away.
No crosse can be greater unto a good mind, Then a man to be matched with a woman unkind, Whose tongue is never quiet, but scolds night and day, That man wants the comfort to sing, Care away. A vertuous woman a husband that hath, That's given unto lewdnesse, to envie and wrath, Who after wicked women does hunt for his prey, That woman wants comfort to sing, Care away. Were there no resorting, to houses of vice, Or were there no courting a wench that is nice, Yet ere she will refuse it, the wanton will play, Poore men might be merry, and sing, Care away. Like true subjects loyall, to God let us pray, Our good King so royall, to preserve night and day: With the Queene, Prince & Nobles the Lord blesse them aye: Then may we all have comfort, to sing, Care away.
