Authour. I Have travell'd farre, and done the best I can, And used my best indeavours to find an honest man: But honest men are lost, and Knaves doe now aspire, But after Honesty Ile send, Londons old Cryer. Oyes, Oyes, Oyes, If any Man or Woman, in any Towne can see, A man whose words and deeds, do both in owne agree: Let them bring to the Cryer, such an honest man, He hath bin lost ever since these Troubles first began, Oyes, Oyes, Oyes. If any Man or Woman, can ease us of our paine, And bring us newes that Conscience, is come to Towne againe: Bring word unto the Cryer, and prove it to be true, He shall be well rewarded and have Gods blessing to.
Oyes, Oyes, Oyes, If any Man or Woman, such newes to us can bring, There's never a Knave in London, that will abuse the King, Such good and wholesome newes, shall welcom'd be to me, And he that brings that happy news shall well rewarded be. Oyes, Oyes, Oyes. If any Man or Woman, can for a certaine tell, What is become of Peace, or where that she doth dwell, If he can bring her to us, and win her for to stay, The Souldier he doth loose the field, and this man wins the day. Oyes, Oyes, Oyes. If any Man or Woman, in Country or in City, Can bring us any Tydings, what is become of pitty: If they can bring her to us, before we are undone, They shall have the prayers then, of every mothers sonne.
