When raging louts with feble braines, moste wilfully wyl spend a-waye: And eke consume more then their gaines, in riotyng al the longe day. And spend with him that wil spend moste: yet of their gaine they need not boste. When drunken Drunkerds will not spare, the Alehous daily for to plye: But sit and tipple there full square, and to their gaines wil have no eye. Nor will not cease I warrant ye: so long as they have one penny. When rufling roisters wil bestowe, upon thir backs suche fine aray: And be not wurth that whiche they owe, falling therby into decay. Yet wil they set theron a face: and bragge and crake it out apace. When lively lads wil plye the dice, consuming there away their good: No man wil count them to be wice, but rather to be mad or wood. For when that all their money is gone: then are they dressed like a mome. When lasie loiterers will not wurk: and honestly their livings get: But had rather in corners lurk, then that they wold with labor swet. Therfore no welth they can attain: but live in trouble and in pain. When doting doltes wil enterprise, to wurk suche feates as I have tolde: Not ceassing for to exercise, worse deeds then those with courage bold. Then some do lay their cotes to gage: til that they have received their wage. Then some the Counter oft doo kisse, if that the money be not paid: Or if that they their day doo misse, for whiche to gage their Cote was laid. Yet wil they not by this take heed: but stil continew to proceed.
Then some therby their credit lose so that no wise man wil them trust: Wherfore they can no lenger glose, but rub and revel not they must. For whersoever they become: they are not so wel trust as knowne. Then some at length do beg their bread, who if in time they had been wise: Might wel have had inough to fed, themselves, their children & their wives: But when that all is gone and spent: it is to late then to repent. Then some to pilfer doo begin, but as sone as they be espied: With whips they are laid on the skin, at a carts ars being wel tied. But al this cannot those amend: that wil doo mischefe to the end. Then some proceed to rob and kyl, counting al fish that comes to net: And yf that they might have their wil, for right or wrong they wuld not let. Til at the last they fall in bands: and cannot escape out of hands. Then some at Newgate doo take ship, sailing ful fast up holborne hil: And at Tiborn their anckers piche, ful sore indeed against their wil. But then it is to late I say: to cal againe the yesterday. Wherfore al ye that use this trade, leave of betimes yf ye be wise: Lest that perchaunce this way ye wade, ful sore against your owne devise. For heer ye see the end of suche: as litle have and wil spend muche.
