1. DEarest Jockey, we unto thee Are beholden every way, And yet some strive to undo thee, But I now the truth will say. Thou unto our aid cam'st running, Leaving thine owne pleasant soile, And thy Ale, that was a tunning, In our most barren land to moile. Wherefore we will ever love thee, Over the shoulder, as they say, But if thou com'st again, wee'l shove thee Home, the clean contrary way. We thee pray no more to aid us In that kind thou didst before: For, we find thou hadst betraid us, Had we hearkned to thy lore. 2. Yet in thee there's no more cunning, Then in a devill of two yeares old: Prethee come no more a mumming, For we shall not our fingers hold. We know well thou camest hither, Onely our welfare to advance; And therefore in the North didst gather All their plate and coine perchance. We know well, our most deare brother, Thou never meantst to sell the King; But that thy love thou couldst not smother, When we gold to thee did bring. We thee pray no more to aid us, etc. 3. Friendly neighbour, that hast ever Been a sure card at our need; Though it hath been our luck, never To find thee false in word and deed. Thou great good will dost beare unto us, Loving the ground whereon we tread: But we pray thee truly show us, Is't not for our English bread? Alas deare soule, thou hast we know well, Been contented with all paine: As thy deeds did lately show well, To lose thy own land ours to gaine. But we pray thee no more aid us, etc. Counter Tener. WE will love thee, O dear brother, And will never while we live Thy good turnes within us smother, But will full requitall give. For thy aiding, And perswading, Thy assenting, And thy entring. We will give thee yet more money, And will pay thee home, we sweare, With a Cornish hug, thou blew-cap Bonney, Wee'l imbrace thee, never feare.

Thou shalt be incorporated One with us, and we with thee, When thy Presbyterie is instated, And Lay Elders ruling be. For selling, And rebelling, For thy aiding, And upbraiding: We will make a rare exchanging, And will give thee wheat for oats: If in meane time there be no ranging, And we do not cut your throats.
