<L>OO what a madne&s;s 'tis to borrow or lend,</L>
<L>Or for &s;trong Liquor thy Money to &s;pend;</L>
<L>For when that is wanting thy courage to cool,</L>
<L>Thou mo&s;t &s;ta<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">d Cap in hand to every fool:</L>
<L>but if thy pock<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">ts can &s;ing &amp; they will take thy word</L>
<L>Oh then thou art company for Knight or yet Lord:</L>
<L>Then make much of a Penny as near as you can,</L>
<L>For if that be wanting thou'rt counted no man.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then li&s;ten a while and i'le tell you in brief,</L>
<L>The mo&s;t of my &s;orrow, my care, and my grief;</L>
<L>I had an e&s;tate Ile make it appear,</L>
<L>Be&s;ides all my &s;tock, was worth fifty a year:</L>
<L>But &s;o &s;oon as I to drinking then fell,</L>
<L>My Land I then Morgaged, my Cattle did &s;ell;</L>
<L>No &s;ooner the money I for them had took,</L>
<L>But it went to the Ale-hou&s;e i'le &s;wear on a book.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus in a &s;hort time my money did wa&s;te,</L>
<L>And I found my &s;elf not a pin better at la&s;t;</L>
<L>Whil&s;t other Trade&s;men were working full hard,</L>
<L>I f<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">om an Ale-hou&s;e could not be debar'd:</L>
<L>There would I &s;it tipling day after day,</L>
<L>And my Wife &s;he unto me full often would &s;ay,</L>
<L>Make much of a Penny as near as you can,</L>
<L>For if that be wanting thou'lt be counted no man.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But the words that &s;he &s;poke i'd regard not a &s;traw</L>
<L>But would kick her, &amp; beat her, &amp; k&eacute;ep her in awe;</L>
<L>My children at home might eat the bare wall,</L>
<L>Whil&s;t I in an Ale-hou&s;e for &s;trong liquor did call:</L>
<L>And my Ho&s;tis for&s;ooth mu&s;t needs &s;it on my kn&eacute;e</L>
<L>though my wife &s;he hath twice more beauty then &s;he</L>
<L>Yet that would not plea&s;e my letcherous mind,</L>
<L>Becau&s;e for my Money my Ho&s;tis was kind.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But in the conclu&s;ion here comes all my care,</L>
<L>My back it grew thin, and my pockets grew bare;</L>
<L>Then I told my Ho&s;tis my pittiful tale,</L>
<L>In hopes that my &s;orrows &s;he would be wail:</L>
<L>But &s;he turn'd up her no&s;e, and &s;he looked a &s;quoy,</L>
<L>You might have been wi&s;er &s;he &s;traight did reply;</L>
<L>This was all the comfort that I got from &s;he,</L>
<L>That always pretended my friend for to be.</L>

<L>THerefore all young-men that loves the Ale-bench</L>
<L>Some coun&s;el i'le give them before they go hence;</L>
<L>If thou &s;it'&s;t day and night, &amp; drink'&s;t never &s;o fa&s;t</L>
<L>Yet thou'lt find thy own home is the be&s;t at la&s;t;</L>
<L>It is but for your money they wait you upon,</L>
<L>And when that is wanting you'r lightly look't on;</L>
<L>If &s;he &s;ees but two-pence you run on the &s;core,</L>
<L>She'l &s;wear by her troth &s;he will tru&s;t you no more</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L><GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">hen have a care young-men, be ruled in time,</L>
<L>Le&s;t drink overcome thee, in old days you pine;</L>
<L>For you &s;ee Good-fellows how thread-bare they go</L>
<L>And what good-husbandry brings a man to;</L>
<L>For &s;ome lives mo&s;t bravely tho means they have &s;mall,</L>
<L>And &s;ome that has hundreds do quickly &s;pend all;</L>
<L>Then make much of a penny as near as you can,</L>
<L>For if that be wanting thou'rt counted no man.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>'Tis money you &s;ee makes a Lord, or yet Ea<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">l,</L>
<L>'Tis money you &s;ee that &s;ets out a young Girl;</L>
<L>Likewi&s;e 'tis money makes the Lawyer to prate,</L>
<L>&amp; tis money doth make the man love his wife <HI>Kate</HI></L>
<L>And 'tis money br&eacute;eds love where never was none,</L>
<L>Although &s;he be old, yet money makes her young:</L>
<L>A Knight or a Begger, whatever they be</L>
<L>If they have but money they'r welcome to me.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus money you &s;ee, and do well under&s;tand,</L>
<L>If a poor man can but get it, he buys hou&s;e and land</L>
<L>But it mu&s;t not be tho&s;e that works hard all day,</L>
<L>And at night in an Ale-hou&s;e doth throw it away.</L>
<L>Nay, that will not &s;erve, but twice as much more,</L>
<L>If his word it will pa&s;s, he runs on the &s;core;</L>
<L>Then all the week after, though then he don't <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">eed</L>

<L>Therefore he advi&s;ed boon Companions all,</L>
<L>For you &s;ee the worlds &s;o they laugh at a mans fall</L>
<L>With &s;peed your old haunts pray begin for to &s;hun,</L>
<L>Take warning by others the which are undone:</L>
<L>You'l &s;ay a good fellow it is a brave name,</L>
<L>But many a man doth pay dear for the &s;ame:</L>
<L>The which hath all &s;pent, now in Goal he doth lye,</L>
<L>And none will relieve him in his poverty.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But &s;ome men have got &s;uch a &s;park in their throat</L>
<L>That I would not be him that &s;hould quench't for a groat;</L>
<L>All the fair words his wife can him give,</L>
