<L><HI>Will Boldly &s;wear,</HI></L>
<L><HI>None can compare</HI></L>
<L><HI>With famous <HI>Darby&s;here.</HI></HI></L>

<L>there is &s;tore of Bread and Beef;</L>
<L>And <HI>Che&s;hire,</HI> as I hear them &s;ay,</L>

<L><HI>None can compare</HI></L>
<L><HI>With famous <HI>Darby-&s;hire,</HI></HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And then &s;uch Drink of this &s;ame Mault</L>
<L>the Brewers they do make,</L>
<L>Will make an old Woman's Tongue to talk,</L>
<L>and a Cat almo&s;t to &s;peak:</L>
<L>It will do them good,</L>
<L>And warm their Blood,</L>
<L>That drinks but of this Beer;</L>

<L>Then with their Prize away they bye</L>
<L>to take a Gla&s;s of Beer:</L>
<L><HI>Which makes, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In <HI>Darby,</HI> which is the County Town,</L>
<L>there is a Ca&s;tle &s;trong;</L>
<L>Which many an arrant Rogue hath known,</L>
<L>that hath done his Neighbours wrong.</L>
<L>And the County Sheriff doth ride in State,</L>
<L>with Trumpets &s;ounding clear:</L>
<L><HI>Which makes, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>There is <HI>Heafeild Hope,</HI> and <HI>Tid&s;wal,</HI></L>
<L>(as I have heard many tell)</L>

<L><HI>Which makes, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Wonders of the world I think,</L>
<L>at <HI>Buxtons</HI> may be found;</L>
<L>While a white pound of Candles burn,</L>
<L>one may walk under the Ground.</L>
<L>Then there is Well,</L>
<L>(As I have heard tell)</L>
<L>For Vertues very rare:</L>
<L><HI>Which makes, &amp;c,</HI></L>
</LG>

<L>likewi&s;e at <HI>Backwall</HI> Town;</L>

<L>All Recreations lawful and civil,</L>
<L>they u&s;e there;</L>
<L><HI>Which makes, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And now my Song for to conclude,</L>
<L>I here do make an End;</L>
<L>Sure every one that is not rude,</L>
<L>will take me for his Friend:</L>
<L>Then buy then all, both Great and Small,</L>
<L>the Purcha&s;e is not dear,</L>
<L>When for one Penny you may have</L>
<L>The Fame of <HI>Darby-&s;here.</HI></L>
