<L>I Had no more wit, but was tred under feet&punc;</L>
<L><HI>and all was for want of money,</HI></L>
<L>I dayly did walk in the fear of a Writ,</L>
<L><HI>and all, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>But now i'm re&s;olved to be more wi&s;e,</L>
<L>And early each morning I mean for to ri&s;e,</L>
<L>There's none for a &s;luggard that &s;hall me di&s;pi&s;e,</L>
<L><HI>when I have no want of money.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I was &s;uch a drudge, that it made me to grudge,</L>
<L><HI>becau&s;e I had got no money,</HI></L>
<L>On each mans occa&s;ions <HI>I</HI> for'&s;t was to trudge,</L>
<L><HI>becau&s;e I had got no money.</HI></L>
<L>But now i'm re&s;olved i'le do &s;o no more,</L>
<L>I'le drink no &s;trong Ale upon the old &s;core,</L>
<L>And then I do hope I &s;hall never be poor,</L>
<L><HI>when I have no want of money&punc;</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I was &s;uch a thrift, that I could not make &s;hift</L>
<L><HI>and all was, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>I was ready to hide my head in a clift,</L>
<L><HI>and all, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>But now i'm re&s;olved my trade for to mend,</L>
<L>I&punc;le work and get money to keep and to &s;pend,</L>
<L>And then Iam &s;ure my foes will me be friend,</L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>I was like a Fool, that's &s;ent unto School,</L>
<L><HI>and all&punc; &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>And every vile fellow my actions did rule,</L>
<L><HI>and all, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>But now i'm re&s;olved <HI>I</HI> will mend my trade,</L>
<L>I'le get as good cloaths as I can get made,</L>

<OPENER>To the &s;ame tune.</OPENER>
<LG>
<L>FOr when I w<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">s poor, and had not a &s;tore,</L>
<L><HI>of that which we u&s;e to call money,</HI></L>
<L>Then all my proud Neighbours would pa&s;s by my door,</L>
<L><HI>becau&s;e they knew I had no money.</HI></L>
<L>Ile warrant you they'd never ask me to go,</L>
<L>To drink a &s;trong pot becau&s;e they did know,</L>
<L>My pur&s;e and my credit was grown very low,</L>
<L><HI>for want of this raskally money.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then all my acquaintance my per&s;on did &s;light, <HI>and all was for want of this money,</HI></L>
<L>&amp; &s;ome with-held from me that which was my right heed</L>
<L><HI>becau&s;e they knew I had no money.</HI></L>
<L>Let me go, let me come, there was no man would</L>
<L>When I try&punc;d to be tru&s;ted I never could &s;peed</L>
<L>But all my friends fail'd at the time of my need,</L>
<L><HI>becau&s;e they, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now all my dear friends be advi&s;ed by me,</L>
<L><HI>all you that have wanted this money,</HI></L>
<L>Ob&s;erve but rich people they are not &s;o free,</L>
<L><HI>becau&s;e they do love to get money.</HI></L>
<L>though pre&s;ant you be all the whil&s;t that they dine</L>
<L>You'l find them as free as a hungry Swine,</L>
<L>Then i le not be lavi&s;h of that which is mine,</L>
<L><HI>and I shall have plenty of money.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For a Nigardly gallant i'le not be a &s;lave,</L>
<L><HI>that is not the way to get money,</HI></L>
<L>Their cloaths are &s;o gay they are forced to crave,</L>
<L><HI>and to pinch the poor Labourers money.</HI></L>
<L>The&s;e needy young Gallants they are not for me,</L>
<L>Your ordinary people are always mo&s;t free,</L>
<L>And 'tis better to work for a Farmer <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">han he,</L>
<L><HI>for then a mans &s;ure of his money.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>From a paunch-belly'd Ho&s;ti&s;s I am to refrain,</L>
<L><HI>if ever I mean to get money,</HI></L>
<L>For &s;he both my pur&s;e and my credit will &s;tain,</L>
<L><HI>in making me &s;pend all my money.</HI></L>
<L>She'l ask me to eat when &s;he thinks I have din'd,</L>
<L>Or of &s;ome &s;alt bit &s;he will put me in mind,</L>
<L>That will make me to drink, &amp; be &s;pending my coin,</L>
<L><HI>that &s;he might be taking my money.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>With a Pick-pocket longer I am not to deal,</L>
<L><HI>if ever I mean to get money,</HI></L>
<L>For they have broke more than ever they'l heal,</L>
<L><HI>in cheating poor men of their money.</HI></L>
<L>I never will give to a coun&s;el a Fee,</L>
<L>An Atorny &s;hall ne'r take a penny of me,</L>
<L>For I with my Neighbours &s;o well will agree,</L>
<L><HI>when I have got plenty of money.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>All roy&s;tering blades I do mean to for&s;ake,</L>
<L><HI>if e're I intend to get money,</HI></L>
<L>They'l tempt me to Wre&s;tle and cudgels at wake&punc; </L>
<L><HI>and cau&s;e me to &s;pend all my money.</HI></L>
<L>We &s;ing, and we dance, and we fuddle about,</L>
<L>And when we are in we can never get out,</L>
<L>Vntil we have given our pockets the rout,</L>
<L><HI>but that&punc;s not the way to get money.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But here comes a danger that's wor&s;e then the re&s;t&punc;</L>
<L><HI>that will tempt a youngman to &s;pend money,</HI></L>
<L>A beautiful Whore when &s;he's hand&s;omly dre&s;t&punc;</L>
<L><HI>will quickly con&s;ume a mans money.</HI></L>
<L>But all &s;uch decoys I intend for to &s;hun,</L>
<L>And hone&s;ter ways I do mean for to run,</L>
<L>My c<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">edi<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> &s;hall rai&s;e in the face of the Sun,</L>
<L><HI>when I have got plenty of money.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ile buy me a hou&s;e, and i le buy me &s;ome Land,</L>
<L><HI>when I have got plenty of money,</HI></L>
<L>And I will keep &s;ervants &s;hall be at command,</L>
<L><HI>when I have got, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>And <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">fter all this I will get a rich Wife,</L>
<L>For I &s;hall be free from care and from &s;trife,</L>
<L>And I &s;hall live richly all days of my life,</L>
<L><HI>when I have got plenty of money.</HI></L>
