<L>YOu bold undaunted Souls attend</L>
<L>To me, who did the Laws offend;</L>
<L>For now I come to let you know</L>
<L>What prov'd my fatal overthrow,</L>
<L>And brought my Glory to decay;</L>
<L>it was my Gang, for whom I hang,</L>
<L>Well-a-day, well-a-day.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Vnto a Duke I was a Page,</L>
<L>And &s;uccour'd in my tender Age,</L>
<L>Vntil the Devil did me intice,</L>
<L>To leave of Vertue, and follow Vice;</L>
<L>No &s;ooner was I led a&s;tray,</L>
<L>but Wickedne&s;s, did me po&s;&s;e&s;s,</L>
<L>Well-a-day, well-a-day.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If I my Crimes to mind &s;hou'd call,</L>
<L>And lay them down before you all,</L>
<L>They would amount to &s;uch a Sum,</L>
<L>That there is few in Chri&s;tendom,</L>
<L>So many wanton Pranks did play;</L>
<L>but now too late, I mourn my fate,</L>
<L>Well-a-day, well-a-day.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Vpon the Road, I do declare,</L>
<L>I caus'd &s;ome Lords and Ladies fair,</L>
<L>To quit their Coach, and dance with us;</L>
<L>This being done, the Ca&s;e was thus,</L>
<L>They for their Mu&s;ick needs mu&s;t pay;</L>
<L>but now at la&s;t, tho&s;e Ioaks are pa&s;t,</L>
<L>Well-a-day, well-a-day.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Another time, I and my Gang,</L>
<L>We fell upon a Noble-man;</L>
<L>In &s;pite of all that he could do,</L>
<L>We took his Gold and Silver too</L>
<L>And with the &s;ame we rid away;</L>
<L>but being took, for death I look,</L>
<L>Well-a-day, well-a-day.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When I was mounted on my Steed,</L>
<L>I thought my&s;elf a Man indeed;</L>
<L>With Pi&s;tol cock'd and glittering Sword,</L>
<L>Stand and deliver, was the word,</L>
<L>Which makes me now lament and &s;ay,</L>
<L>pity the Fall of great <HI>Devol,</HI></L>
<L>Well-a-day, well-a-day.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I did belong unto a Crew,</L>
<L>Of as &s;waggering Blades as ever drew,</L>
<L>Stout <HI>Whitherington</HI> and <HI>Dowglis</HI> both,</L>
<L>We were all three engag'd by Oath,</L>
<L>Vpon the Road to take our way;</L>
<L>but now <HI>Devol,</HI> mu&s;t pay for all,</L>
<L>Well-a-day, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Becau&s;e I was a Frenchman born,</L>
<L>Some Per&s;ons treated me with &s;corn;</L>
<L>But being of a daring Soul,</L>
<L>Although my Deeds was &s;omething foul,</L>
<L>My gaudy Plumes I did di&s;play,</L>
<L>but now my Pride, is laid a&s;ide,</L>
<L>Well-a-day, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I reign'd with an undaunted mind</L>
<L>Some years, but now at la&s;t I find,</L>
<L>The Pitcher that &s;o often goes</L>
<L>Vnto the Well, as Proverb &s;hows,</L>
<L>Comes broken home at la&s;t we &s;ay;</L>
<L>for now I &s;ee, my De&s;tiny,</L>
<L>Well-a-day, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then being brought to Iu&s;tice-hall,</L>
<L>Try'd and condemn'd before them all;</L>
<L>Where many noble Lords did come,</L>
<L>And Ladies for to hear my Doom,</L>
<L>Then Sentence pa&s;s'd, without delay,</L>
<L>the Halter fa&s;t, and <HI>Tybourn</HI> la&s;t,</L>
<L>In one Day, in one Day.</L>
