<HEAD>A New Ballad again&s;t vnthrifts.</HEAD>
<LG>
<L>_When raging louts with feble braines,</L>
<L>mo&s;te wilfully wyl &s;pend a|waye:</L>
<L>And eke co~&s;ume more the~ their gaines,</L>
<L>in riotyng al the longe day.</L>
<L>And &s;pend with him that wil &s;pend mo&s;te:</L>
<L>yet of their gaine they need not bo&s;te.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When drunken Drunkerds will not &s;pare,</L>
<L>the Alehous daily for to plye:</L>
<L>But &s;it and tipple there full &s;quare,</L>
<L>and to their gaines wil haue no eye.</L>
<L>Nor will not cea&s;e I warrant ye:</L>
<L>&s;o long as they haue one penny.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When rufling roi&s;ters wil be&s;towe,</L>
<L>vpon thir backs &s;uche fine aray:</L>
<L>And be not wurth that whiche they owe,</L>
<L>falling therby in to decay.</L>
<L>Yet wil they &s;et theron a face:</L>
<L>and bragge and crake it out a pace.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When liuely lads wil plye the dice,</L>
<L>con&s;uming there away their good:</L>
<L>No man wil count them to be wice,</L>
<L>but rather to be mad or wood.</L>
<L>For when that all their money is gone:</L>
<L>then are they dre&s;&s;ed like a mome.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When la&s;ie loiterers will not wurk:</L>
<L>and hone&s;tly their liuings get:</L>
<L>But had rather in corners lurk,</L>
<L>then that they wold with labor &s;wet.</L>
<L>Therfore no welth they can attain:</L>
<L>but liue in trouble and in pain.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When doting doltes wil enterpri&s;e,</L>
<L>to wurk &s;uche feates as I haue tolde:</L>
<L>Not cea&s;&s;ing for to exerci&s;e,</L>
<L>wor&s;e deeds then tho&s;e w^t courage bold.</L>
<L>Then &s;ome do lay their cotes to gage:</L>
<L>til that they haue receiued their wage.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then &s;ome the Counter oft doo ki&s;&s;e,</L>
<L>if that the money be not paid:</L>
<L>Or if that they their day doo mi&s;&s;e,</L>
<L>for whiche to gage their Cote was laid.</L>
<L>Yet wil they not by this take heed:</L>
<L>but &s;til continew to proceed.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then &s;ome therby their credit lo&s;e</L>
<L>&s;o that no wi&s;e man wil them tru&s;t:</L>
<L>Wherfore they can no lenger glo&s;e,</L>
<L>but rub and reuel not they mu&s;t.</L>
<L>For wher&s;oeuer they become:</L>
<L>they are not &s;o wel tru&s;t as knowne.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then &s;ome at length do beg their bread,</L>
<L>who if in time they had been wi&s;e:</L>
<L>Might wel haue had inough to fed,</L>
<L>them &s;elues, their childre~ &amp; their wiues:</L>
<L>But when that all is gone and &s;pent:</L>
<L>it is to late then to repent.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then &s;ome to pilfer doo begin,</L>
<L>but a&s;&s;one as they be e&s;pied:</L>
<L>With whips they are laid on the &s;kin,</L>
<L>at a carts ars being wel tied.</L>
<L>But al this can not tho&s;e amend:</L>
<L>that wil doo mi&s;chefe to the end.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then &s;ome proceed to rob and kyl,</L>
<L>counting al fi&s;h that comes to net:</L>
<L>And yf that they might haue their wil,</L>
<L>for right or wrong they wuld not let.</L>
<L>Til at the they la&s;t fall in bands:</L>
<L>and can not e&s;cape out of hands.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then &s;ome at Newgate doo take &s;hip,</L>
<L>&s;ailing ful fa&s;t vp holborne hil:</L>
<L>And at Tiborn their anckers piche,</L>
<L>ful &s;ore in deed again&s;t their wil.</L>
<L>But then it is to late I &s;ay:</L>
<L>to cal againe the ye&s;terday.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Wherfore al ye that v&s;e this trade,</L>
<L>leaue of betimes yf ye be wi&s;e:</L>
<L>Le&s;t that perchaunce this way ye wade,</L>
<L>ful &s;ore again&s;t your owne deui&s;e.</L>
<L>For heer ye &s;ee the end of &s;uche:</L>
<L>as litle haue and wil &s;pend muche.</L>
