 T Hough Madam Money , look both briskc and gay 
 Lpvely and frefh as Blooming Flowers in May\ \ 
 Yet flie for feveral Centuries of years

 For Epbron Zobars Son y for Mone.ys.fake 
 Aflbrance unto Abraham did make, 
 Of fytacbpelab) and th* Cave within that fpace, 
 That he might have ic for a Burying place: 
 Abraham poflfeffion took thereof and made 
 Rdom in the •Cave, and Sarab therein laid; 
 Three thoufand and five hundred years are paft, 
 Since this, and more, yet money walks as faft, 
 And vigoroufly, as if but in her prime, 
 And never had been known before our time i 
 Yet flie in former times hath r b*rn great fway, 
 Judas for.Jler, h^s* Matter did betray : 
 Since which near feventeen hur^l red years are fpun, 
 And ye^ {he ftremjoufly about doth run :

 WHen Royall power, or dates, do put Reftraint 
 On Money's pafiage, folks make great complaint 
 City nor Country know not how to Live, 
 If they to Money freedom do not give : 
 When flic's prohibited by the Command 
 Of fupreme power, to pafs from Hand to Hand, 
 ijioth Rich and Poor^do fadly then complaine, 
 For without her, all Comfortlefs remaine : 
 The Gripcing Ufurcr muft now forbear, 
 Caufc Money is compelld to difappear, 
 No debts can now be got, tho long time due, 
 Till fhe peeps out again, 'tis vain to fur, 
 Land-Lords muft want their Rents, at their Rent day. 
 Money's profcrib'd fo Tcnnantscan not pay :

 With longing minds, to hear when Money 1 ! come, 
 
 Poor Labourers are ready now to weep, 
 
 They know aot how their Families to k«epj 
 
 If Moneys company they can not have, 
 
 They're then quite out of hopes their Lives to Save : 
 
 'Tis (he Revives the Gentleman and Clown, 
 
 Where (he comes not, all hearts are there caft down > 
 
 When flics at Liberty all Men are glad, 
 
 But when Rcftrain d y they then are almoft mad; 
 
 For her Rcftraint docs all Mens minds perplex, 
 
 She's Salus Populi, Supreraa Lex, 
 
 For when Men fret, and fume, are full of Gall, 
 
 If Money Intcrceeds, (he quiets all.

 A Noble-Man, and raifc a filly Clown ;

 For (he into the prefence-Chambcr brings 
 
 Some, that without her, ne'er fhould fpeak to Kings i 
 
 And makes the way to bring fome into Grace, 
 
 Who neither merit Honour, nor a place,

 And make a dunce unto preferment Climbc, 
 
 When parts and worth Negle&ed arc and (It 
 
 Difcouraged, and no Employment get :

 There is fmall hopes your bufinefs will Succeed :

 And want thereof, is Slighted with Neglcft,

 Make Money there your friend, and that's the Trade, 
 
 Befree but of your purfe, Treat very high, 
 
 So Neighbours to the place, you may put by, 
 
 And Gentlemen of good Account you may

 Money will make the Burrough-Men all keen 
 
 To g.ve their Votes, though they have never fecn 
 
 Your face, till the Ele&ion came in hand, 
 
 Yet now their tongues, and hearts you may command, 
 
 Money does many filly Men prefer, 
 
 To places of great Truft, when others far 
 
 More worthy for their parts, arefet afide, 
 
 For Money in this Cafe, is the main guide ; 
 
 Ami beares the Chiefeft Rule in evVy place,

 5. On Moneys Rule in the Vniverfities 
 and f tins of Court. 
 
 IF you be at the Vniverfity, 
 
 * And there a very dunce, or Rakehell be, 
 
 Yet Batchelour, and Mafter too of Arts,

 Docs not appear, Money does ialve up all, 
 She can a fool unto preferment call ; 
 She can a Bifhop make and Confeerate, 
 And him Inftall, with Splendor and great ftate. 
 The meaneft Lawyer likewife we may fee 
 By Moneys help, oft call'd to the degree 
 Of Sergeant at Law, tho he've never Read ; 
 And ins profefllon, is a dunder head : 
 Money has power, to raife him higher flill, 
 For flie a Judge can make him if (lie will 
 
 6. On Divines. 
 
 MOney the grave divine makes to difpence 
 With all the Checks of Tender Confcience 5 
 Swallow down any Oath, and never flick. 
 Rather then lofe a fair Rich Bifliopprick, / 
 Good Deanry, prebend, or fat perfonagq 
 They 1 hazard all upon the pubfiek Stage, 
 Of Cenfure, and Reproach, rather then fail, 
 If what they wifli to get, they may prevail, 
 Such are the Charmes of Money, that they will 
 Prove all things Lawfull by their Cunning Skill, 
 To their Advancement tend^ and cade Lives, 
 Apd make their Children great, and Rich their Wives* 
 
 7. On DomeJlicJ^e Chaplains. 
 
 IF you Domeftick Chaplain chance to be 
 Unto fome perfons of good Qualitie, 
 
 Whea

 When ere my Ladies Woman fears ftie'l prove, 
 With Kidd unto her Mafter, he doth move, 
 The honeft Chaplain fome Refpeft to fhow, 
 Advifeth him the Abigail to woo, 
 Tells him her Lady fuch great care doth take 
 For her, that fhe will her a fortune make ; 
 And I too for my fpoufe fake, will beftow, 
 Firft Living that falls in my Guift on you, 
 That you with Comfort long may live together, 
 SoJaceing your felvcs, in one another, 
 The hopes of cafh, and Living too, do charm, 
 The Chaplain fo, that he in Love grows warm, 
 He Courts theproftitute, who docs feem Nice, 
 His Amours not Admitting in a Trice, 
 Yet after fome Addreffcs fhe is won, 
 And fo the Chaplain gets a Butter'd Bun, 
 Upon th* Enjoyment, he perceives a Cheat 
 On him is put, the Cufhion fome have beat 
 Before he came, and made ic fit for ufe, 
 He's grieved in his mind at this Abufe, 
 But then bethinks himfelf fincc 'tis his Lot, 
 He muft be pleafed, whether he will or not, 
 And fo his hopes do folcly reft in this, 
 That now {he's wed, (he 1 do no more AmiG, i 
 And thus the Idol Money hach fuch power, 
 A man for Love of her, will wed a Whore, 
 He that wedds fuch, in hopes fhe'l honeft prove, 
 May afterwards Repent his fond hot Love, 
 
 On 
 
S All Things. 
 
 8. On Non-Confomifts. 
 
 SOme-Non Conforms, we oft fee Tempted are 
 To wear a Surplice, keepfet forms of prayer, 
 Kneel at the Sacrament, great Reverence fhow 
 To'th Altar, ar the name of Jefus Bowe, 
 And at the other Rites no fcruple make, 
 And all this for a good Rich Living's fake, 
 Which ftore of Money doth them yearly bring, 
 For Love of which, they'd yield the Mafs to fing: 
 This Goddefs Reforms, and Transforms a Man, 
 Prevails wkh fome, more then the Gofpell can. 
 
 9. On the Quakers. 
 
 Ho fome that feem hot Quakers will not Swear, 
 Yet when things ol Advantage do appear, 
 By which great Proffic they may get, O then 
 Thcy'l Lye, diflemble, Cheat, like other Men, 
 The Light within them, by the Spirit fed, 
 For Love of Money is Extinguifhed, 
 And the Old Man within 'em now bears fway, 
 And fo we're not to trufi: theic Yea and Nay, 
 Altho it be the Quakers Zealous Fafliion, 
 It is meer Cant, and great Diffimulation.

 They're Captivated, then and held fo faft, 
 Neither then, Wifdom, honour, honcfty, 
 Nor place of greaccft truft, nor Gravity 
 Can them Secure from this unhappy Fate, 
 Witnefs fome famous Men, but now of late, 
 Such is the force of Money at all times 
 That flic can Aggravate or leften Crimes, 
 The Guiltlefs flie can Guilty make we feej 
 And can prevails to fet the Guilty free. 
 
 II. On fudges. 
 
 MOney (lie can a Judges Eyes fo Blind, 
 That he the Truth can neither fee nor find 5 
 But is miflead into fome Error greatj 
 Miftakes the Caufe ; I dare not fay a Cheat: 
 But he's fo ftrangely lead into miftakc. 
 That he the greateft wrong for Right doth make i 
 Mifreprefents the Evidence i'th* Caufe, 
 So th' Jury give, a Verdift, 'gaiuft the Laws, 
 
 12. On fujlices of the Teace. 
 
 "Oth' Juftkes of peace, men rarely bring 
 -* Money for favour, but fome other thing, 
 As Turkyes, Piggs, Geefe, Capons, they prefent> 
 To them, or to their Ladies with cohfenr^ 
 Or elfe the Clarks, by the poor Men arc feed^ 
 That th' Juftice may, at Seffions intercecd<

 And fpcak for th' Man, to get him a difcharge, 
 Of his Recognizance, to go at large : 
 So tho to Money th' Juftice is not bent, 
 Yec he will fomething take equivalent. 
 
 1 1. On Lawyers. 
 
 f3 OS in Lingua, hath been a Proverb long, 
 
 JLr For Money truly charmes the Lawyers Tongue, 
 
 She fbpifies hisSenfe and makes him Dumb, 
 
 He nothing fayes ins Clients Caufe but mum, 
 
 Book cafes he forgets, and of his fenfe 
 
 He's now deprive!, has loft his Eloquence, 
 
 And Gingiing harangues which the Lawyers ufe 
 
 The Caufe to puzle, and court to Amufc ; 
 
 His wrangling Logick too, he us'd to have, 
 
 And urge in Court, his Clients Caufe to fave, 
 
 Is all low quite forgot, he cannot give 
 
 One fingle Reafon now, th' Caufe to retrieve. 
 
 14.. On Attorneys. 
 
 MOncy Attorneys, and Solicitors too, Charmes, 
 To throw their Clients caufe into her Ar mes j 
 Then th' bufinefs they negle&, and take no care, 
 Councel to fee or Witnefs to prepare, 
 Th' Client a Bailiff Fees, to Cry about, 
 Runs here and there, to find's Attorney out, 
 Who purpofely Abfconds, keeps out of fight, 
 
 And ne'er intends to do his Client Right j 
 
 The' 
 
All Things. n 
 
 The Clienr, when coo late, docs underftand 
 His honeft Caufe Was loft, 'caufe not well Man'd i 
 He blames th* Attorney, who for hisExcufe, 
 Begins his honeft Client to abufe, 
 Tels him, when as the Caufe in Court was nam'd, 
 *T appear in fuch a Caufe he was Afliam'd, 
 And fays if he the truth had underftood 
 At firft, ofs Clients Caufe not being good, 
 He'd not have meddl'd in't, So with a Scoff^ 
 And a meer (ham he puts his Client off, 
 Thus Money can Non-Suit, defaults can call, 
 Judgments Arreft, Money is all in all, 
 She can demur, oerthrowor favea Caufe, 
 On either fide, with or againft the Laws, 
 
 1 5. On the Spiritual-Court Mem 
 
 IF in the Spiritual-Court you chance to be 
 Prefented there, by fome for Baftardy, 
 Clandcftine Marriage, or fuch like offence, 
 
 The Court for ftore of Money will difpence 
 With any Crime, And for your Moneys fakq 
 You fhall difcharged be, no Penance make ; 
 Bu* if this Idols wanting, and you're poor, 
 You then are Sentcncd by the Chincellour 
 Some Corporal penance publickly to make> 
 That others may by you Example take, 
 But in die other Cafe the Chancellour, 
 The Advocate*, Pro&ors, and Regifter^ 
 
 Bs Whe*i 
 
iz . Money Mailers. 
 
 When each of them have got a good round Fee, 
 Then they contrive a way to fet you free, 
 If you Whoremonger be, or Whore, or Gilt, 
 Money prevailes to fet you free from Guilt. 
 
 \6. On the Influence of Money in all Courts. 
 
 IN every Court, Expeiience fhews each day, 
 That Money, there doth bear great Rule and Sway* 
 In Chancery, or rh' Kings-Bench, if (lie appear, 
 Or th' Court of Common-pleas, they her Revere, 
 Or inch' Exchequer ^ or at the Affile, 
 Or Seffions ot the peace, (lie does Surprize , 
 For fne in every Office Regent fits, 
 And thereat ail times hath her luckie hits, 
 All Officers to her Obeyfance owe, 
 And do. ; when (lie appears, great Reverence fliow. 
 
 17. On Clerks of the Crown, and of the Teace. 
 
 /~^Lerks of the Crown and peace, to bring about 
 Their' Covetous defignes, oft Ifliic out 
 gal procefs, Money by't to get, 
 And tho the people at fuch pra&ice fret, 
 And judge or Juftices, hear of the fame, 
 They 'I find Excufes, to Evade the blame, < 
 
 So its in vain to Clamour at the Wrong, 
 You may as well fit ftill, and hold your Tongue. 
 When Bailiffs come you mufi pay what they ask, 
 Or tbcy'l diftrain, tho its an heavy Task, 
 
 Money

 Money to pay, where none is due of right, 
 But this we fee, is oft o'erfway d with might, 
 Money and Fricndihip, does o'er matter all, 
 Better tit ftill, than rife and get a fall.

 to the Clarfa of Affile. 
 
 FOR Money, the S.ubvic, keeps you at home. 
 So that you need net to th' Affiles come 
 And if you by Miftake., or in fome Hurry, 
 Happen to be Returned on the grand-Jury, 
 If Money does appear, before the Eyes, 
 O; the Affociateto rhe Clark of th' 'Size, 
 He'l Skip your Second Call, no Bailiff Swears, 
 So you're difcharg'd from Service, and from fears, 
 May take your time aid go row where you pleafe, 
 For you're at Freedom, and may rake your Eafe. 
 
 I p. On the S her riffs Seal-Keeper. 
 
 'HPHE Sherriffs Seal-Keeper, or Clark for Money, 
 
 -■- Will give you fpeedy Notice when there's any 
 Mifchicfc againft you out, that you at home 
 May five your felf, and Goods, before they come 
 To make a prey of you, and what you have. 
 So when the Bailiffs come, then they will Rave 
 And hunt about,and framp and tear like Mad, 
 When rot lo much as Fees, are to be had,

 They being twice or thrice thus ferv'd, you may 
 Compound, get eafie payments to a day, 
 And by this means great Charges you may fave, 
 Which Sheriffand the Bailiffs elfe would have. 
 
 20. On 'Bailiffs* 
 
 ALtho a Bailiff's chiefeft Frfend you are, 
 Yet he for ft ore of Coin, perhaps will dare 
 You to Arreft, or elfe he will betray 
 You to his Comrades, and iliew how they may 
 Arreftyou, tell the Time, and alfo where, 
 Which the poor harmlefs Man doth never fear, 
 'Caufehisfuppofed Friend fits by demure, 
 So the poor Fellow thinks all is fecure, 
 But at longrun, the Catchpoles hurry in, 
 And then the JuiJas routes, does begin 
 To fret and tume, and Quarrel every one, 
 When he himfelf in Truth s the caufe alone ; 
 And fo behind Backs with a fleering Laughter, 
 The poor Man like a Sheep, is led to th' Slaughter; 
 By which we fee a Rafcal Bailiff will

 Yet there no Pitic, nor Regard is had, 
 
 Bur Money Friendship gets, does never fail, 
 
 Altho you re kept and Coopt up in a Goal.

 He knows not what was done but yefterday ;

 23. On Sea Officers. 
 
 THe Officers at Sea Money does Charm, 
 The Enemies may Sail by, without harm, 
 She Anchors them fofaft, they cann't get free, 
 Or elfe the Fogs are thick they cannot fee j

 She can entice them, Qttickly to Surrender ;

 And greater Numbers have in Pveadinefs, 
 Then you have need tor ; without Drum or Prefs, 
 They would not hide themfelves, run into holes, 
 But briskly throng to you, in numerous fhoals ; 
 The force of Money ail things doth Command, 
 Navies at Sea, and Armies too by Land. 
 
 2 p. On the Cujlome Officers. 
 
 TOch' Cuflome waiters both by Laud and Water, 
 How to ^et Money, is the only matter 
 At which they aim ; for where they get a Fee, 
 Tho they be Sworn, yet they can over Pee, 
 
All Things. ii 
 
 And hazard both, their Conference, and their place ; 
 For Moneys fake, they'l venture a difgrace ; 
 But when no Money does appear, O then, 
 They're in their Office very Zealous men : 
 Will makeftrickt Search, and Rummage round about, 
 Difcovery to make, and find things out, 
 For which there's duty or fomc Cuftom due \ 
 Then they're fevere, and will no Kindncfs (hew> 
 But tell you that, they are upon their Oathes 
 And Co will grope you round upon your Clothes, 
 That their be no Concealment by you made, 
 You muft excufe them, fork is their Trade : 
 Money the Eyes can clofc, or open bring, 
 That they can fee, or cannot fee a thing y 
 Things done in time or out of time all's one, 
 |*Or if not, done at all, fhe can Attone, 
 Make all things currant pais at any time, 
 And can procure Excufc for every Crime.

 But if youVe ftorc of Money for a Fee, 
 And entertain him well, he'I overfee ; 
 And fo return again, leave you behind ; 
 And make Return that you he could not find , 
 But when that he unto your Houfe did come 
 You d taken a far Journey, gon from home; 
 The time you would return uncertain was, 
 So hb was fore d to let the bufinefs pafs ; 
 Thus Money blinds his Eyes, he can pafs by, 
 And &?$ Return excufe it with a Lye. 
 
 3 1. On Surveyors of Land. 
 
 IF there be Land that you would have Survey 'd 
 And youth* furveyor would your friend have mad e j 
 Make Money then to him your fureft Friend, 
 She focffe&ually will recommend 
 You unco him, that you may him command 
 For to Return his Survey of the Land, 
 As you Inftruflions give, and do require, 
 He'I make it more or lefs as you defire ; 
 Money fo tempting is that (he can have 
 A ttian for love of her become a Knave, 
 Rather than fuffer Money to pafs by, 
 Men to oblige her, will both Swear and Lye. 
 
 32. On Stewards. 
 
 F you would have a Farm at eafie Rent, 
 ^et my Lords Steward know, what's your intent* 
 
 Be 
 
All Things. 23 
 
 Be free to him, and he will bring't about 
 For he does always know when Farmes are our, 
 So if you ftore of Money to him bring, 
 Ac e*fic Rent, he # l place you on the thing, 
 
 ■et you Licenfe fome frefh Land co plowe fl 
 Or cut fome Wood ; and any kindnefs (how ; 
 Thus Money proves a powerful advocate 
 In Country bufinefs and affairs of State. 
 
 3 2. On Ajlrologers or Nativity Cafiers. 
 
 ' \ Strologers if you to them are free 
 x^Of Money, they'l caft your Nativity 
 To be Aufpitious, fortunate, long Life, 
 And if you be a Man* then a Riq^Wife 
 You fure muft have, and if a Woman, ihe 
 Muft wed an Husband of great Qyality, 
 Nought but profperity (hall you attend, 
 When as your ftars do no fuch thing portend : 
 Money does make Men in their Judgements Err,, 
 Juft as you pay them, fo they fliall declare, 
 If Nobly you do pay, good Fortune then, 
 If meanly, various 'tis, like other Men, 
 And in horary Quefiions they do give 
 Good or bad Anfwers, as they do Receive, 
 Merc or lefs Cafli from you, out of your purfe s 
 So (hall their Anfwers be, better or worfe ; 
 Thus Money leads a Man which way fhe willj 
 Makes him forget his greateft art and skill i.

 So th* Officers, may Charge them as they will 
 And whatfoe'er they fct them down f they qnufi; 
 At the next firing pay, for there's no truft j

 THE Conftable, that Ancient Officer, 
 The Idol Money fome times doth prefer 
 Before his confeience, and for her fake, 
 The parties he will neither fee nor take 
 But make Return, that he can not them find, 
 Lets them Efcape, Money has made him Blind, 
 Tho he be fworn truly to Execute 
 His Office, th' Caufe is clear, needs no difpute, 
 Of Knavery to be Accus'd he's loth, 
 Yet Money, he prefers before his Oath, 
 And rather then this Charming Mits he lack, 
 Credit and Confeience too, rnufr. go to wrack

 50. On Mountibanc^s. 
 
 THE Mountebanck he Traverfcth much ground, 
 To find the Place where Money doth abound. 
 Then up he fets his ftage, where every day 
 He fhewihimielfi Andrew the Fool i'ch' play 
 For Money doch Appear, who for a wit, 
 Doth come behind his Mafter ne'er a Whit, 
 Thus Money can produce any difguife, 
 Can make a wife Man Fool, and Fool feem wife.* 
 Then when from every Quarter of the Town 
 People are Crowded in to fee the Clown, 
 And gaz d at him fome time, and Laught a while, 
 The Mafter then with Ciing, and gracefull fmile, 
 Begins aloud, to fet for:h and proclame 
 His own great Wondrous Merits and his Fame, 
 And tells what mighty Cures both far and near 
 He hath perform'd in each place here and there, 
 You may fays he, Enquire the Certainty ; 
 But you'd as good believe as go and fee, 
 After his long Harangue, he's very willing 
 To give you a fmall Packet for a Shilling, 
 Containing many Medicines, whofe worth 
 The little Printed paper doth fet forth, 
 But when you come ro Try thefe things indeed, 
 You 1 find they're all but Cheats in time of need i 
 If you {hall wak wkh Money in your hand, 
 O then you may be certain to Command 
 
 His 
 
3 6 Money Mailers. 
 
 His befl Advice, in whatfoe'er you will, 
 
 And know the very Bottom of his Skill ; 
 
 Of Wen, Hair-Lip, or Cancer too he may 
 
 A Cure perhaps perform, and take away, 
 
 Which any Man cando,afwell as he, 
 
 That is but Skilfull in Chyrurgery ; 
 
 If you are Blind, or Deaf, and can not hear 
 
 He'l bid you trufl: to him, and do not fear, 
 
 For he will Cure and can Recover both, 
 
 But in fuch cafe to trufl I ihould be loth, 
 
 For we can feldom hear or ever find, 
 
 That they the Deaf make hear, or Cure the Blind * 
 
 Money's the Tempting bait at which they Bite, 
 
 Care not if you ne'er hear, nor get your fight, 
 
 For that's the only thing, they hanckcr after, 
 
 If you neer mend, they turn't but to a Laughter.

 THE dancing Matter will his Coopees ihow

 He'l skip about,and Nimbly dance and play, 
 When Entring pennyes come, or Quarter day, 
 Money makes both his heart and Feet fo Light, 
 That he can cut his Capers bolt upright, 
 But when he Money lacks he's fadly dull, 
 If not his Belly, yet his heart is full, 
 He's out of order then, ready to Swoond, 
 He fcarccly then can life his Feet of ground, 
 
 Such 
 
All Things. 37 
 
 Such Vertue is in Money that {he can

 In Froft and Snow, this Conftant courfe doth hold. 
 And all this hardihip he doth undertake 
 Without Complaint, for Madam Moneys fake 
 For he without her knoWs not how to Live,

 And tho before hand, their hard Fate they know, 
 Yet they for Lady Moneys fake doe (how, 
 Such Love and Kindnefs, that they value noc

 THe Common Cryer walks about, with's Bell 3 
 At certain places makes his fland,to tell 
 And publifli things, that he is to make known 
 To ftrangers, and to th' People of the Town^ 
 This he performs, for mean and forry Fees, 
 Some Moneys better far, then none he lees, 
 And of th' Old faying, he does notice take^ 
 That many littles, does a Mickle make ; 
 For Money, Men are willing to take pains, 
 And rather then Idle fit, for little gains.

 And all this pains they take wirh willing Mind, 
 Becaufe thereby they Money get, they find, 
 Which cheers rheir hearts, and Minds, when they her get,

 And Cat like a young Girl doth Toy and play, 
 At length the day doth come, that they are Wed, 
 And he againft his ftomach, goes to Bed, 
 He Kj£fes her, and fore againft his will 
 H er old Lafcivious humour doth fulfil :

 She the Neccffitated doth Relieve, 
 And out of Miferie doth them Retrieve, 
 She brings them Comfort, when their hearts are down, 
 And makes them Courage take, 'gainft fortunes frown/ 
 But to the Mifer, (he's another thing, 
 Money great Mifchief unto him doth bring. 
 The more he gets, the greater is his Curfe, 
 For he thereby becomes ftill worfe, and worfe, 
 The more he hath, he ftill doth Covet more, 
 And will notccafe till Death calls at his door, 
 Then all his hourded Treafure he would ^ive, 
 To Bribe and put of Death, that he might Live, 
 But now he fees the folly of his gains, 
 They cannot life prolong, nor eafe his pain?, 
 Money no Comfort now affords the Man, 
 When he begins to look pale faint and wan.

 And fick to Death, O then, he doth Escpreft 
 Great grief and Sorrow for his Wickednels, 
 And if he were to Live agasn, he would 
 Abhor the eager gripeing after Gold, 
 But death's inexorable and gives no dayes 
 No pleadings he admits of for Delayes, 
 But when he comes poor Mortals to Arreft, 
 They Natures debt muft pay, without Conteft.

 Her Curious Body, and to pawn her honour 
 To fomc young Gallant, that is brisk upon her, 
 And thus this Idol Money doth entice

 To th hazard both of Body and of Souk

 IF you ro let a piece of Work defire, 
 The Labourer, that duely works for hire. 
 Will take it, and will Labour very fore 
 To get two pence, or three pence fome times, more 
 Than daily Labour comes to, fo the Man

 And when he gets his Wage, it Chcarshis heart, 
 With Joy to's Wife and Children he'l depart. 
 
 75. On ^Butter ^Buyers or FaBors. 
 
 THE Butter Buyers 'mongfi: themfelves agree, 
 How they may Gull, and Cheat the Country, 
 They know poor Farmers are enforcft to fell, 
 So they do make the price juft as they will, 
 Higher or lower, prices they kt down, 
 Al tiey [cq more or Icfs come to the Town, 
 
 When 
 
5 6 Money Mates. 
 
 When there does come, plenty of Firkins iii, 
 Then to th J Poor Men they ftories do begin, 
 Tell them at London th' Markets are fo low. 
 That how to buy and fave, they do not knoV, 
 Tho not a word of this they know is true, * 
 Yet by this Artifice, they VVreft and Screw 
 Great proffic to themfelves, and Money get, 
 From th' honeft Farmers, without much Regret: 
 Thefe Buyers mongft themfelves low prices make, 
 Which the Poor Farmers are enforcft to take, 
 For Money they do want, elfc had not come^ 
 So fell they muft, Money to carry home ; 
 But when thefe Fa&ors Orders do receive 
 To Buy a parcell quickly up, they'I give 
 Twelve-pence advance Perhaps, or fome times more, 
 But when they're ferv'd the price is as before, 
 And thus the County is brought to fubmir, 
 And take fuch prices, as thefe Men think fit ; 
 If you a Pound or more, do want of weight, 
 Then you muft make Abatement for it ftraight, 
 But if your Firkin proves a pound or two * 
 
 OVe weight, for that they nothing will allow, 
 At every Turn, proffic they're fure to make,} 
 And all the Country Cheat, for Moneys fake.

 When Farmer?} and poor Husband men, would idi $ 
 Wages to pay, or Rents to Raife, they finell 
 Their Want of cafh ; then are they very fhy 
 Are foil of Corn, want Money, can not buy, 
 But if they can but bring you to their Pin, 
 They'l Bargain then, your Corn ybu may bring ib^ 
 And thus does Run Poor Mens unhappy Fate. 
 They muft for Money fell at any Rate ; 
 But when the Buyers have got pritty ftore* 
 And for fome time refolve to buy no more, 
 Then they bethink themfelves whether laft Year? 
 Or thisj they did their Corn buy in more dear 
 If the laft year, great ftoreof Old they have, 
 If this more dear, they could nb old ftore favej, 
 So all muft go at the beft price they give, 
 And by this means they're Rich, and bravely IiVe^ 
 If Money can but any wayes be had, 
 It's welcome tho the means be ne'er fo bad, . 
 When as a fteeping failes, and th' malt's not Righf^ 
 Then that is mkt, layd in fome place in fighr, 
 To fend abroad to thofe whofe Cuftome they 
 Do not Regard, becaiife they badly pdy, 
 But thofe that take up much, and take great Gaire 
 To make good payment, get the choifeft ware, 
 So runs the world, thefe that have Money may 
 Have sftiy thing, where'ts wanting, they're faid Jftay.'

 That he'l perform great Feats, for Moneys fake j 
 He knows how many Bones, and Joynts, as plain^j 
 And every finewe Artery, and Vein,

 As if he'd Read upon Anotamy : 
 And yet for all his Skill 9 we often fee, 
 That he does clear miftake the Mallady, 
 Which being not by him right under ftood. 
 He oft gives that, which doth more harm than good ; 
 And fo inftead of Curing of yfcur Horfe, 
 He makes him every day, farr worfe and worfe 3 
 Until at length, he turns up's heels and Dye, 
 And yet the Horfe-Leech you muft fatisfie 
 For his Medicaments, Labour and pains-, 
 And fo your lof3, at length becomes his gairisi 
 I've known a Noted Farryer fo Milled, 
 He's faid an Horfe was ftrahVd, or Tifled, 
 And has hot Oyles unto the Horfe apply'd

 He wonders then, he fhould fo far miftake, 
 And fayes he now muft other Meafures take, 
 He Cuts the hoof, finds all within decay d, 
 The Horfe will lofe his hoof, I am afraid, 
 Cryes he, th:n long time tampers with the fame, 
 Till th' Horfe is Ki Id or at the beft proves Lame, 
 And yet tho through this Fellows Ignorance, 
 To you befalls this dammage and Mifchance, 
 H~ 1 have the Confidence Money to ask, 
 Though he thus fondly have pcrforra'd his task 
 But yet I think if be had his defert, 
 To pay for th* Horfe in fuch cafe is his part.

 But where their money's fure,tho you're their frienB

 If Moncylefs, they go with empty pots, 
 When other thick Sculld Idle filly fots 
 \y: S Money can prevail, in a great hufF, 
 T %ve the beft, whiieft others take the fluff 
 That's all decay'd, worm-eaten, old and Rocten 5 
 For without Money, Friendfhip is forgotten, 
 And you muft: wait their time, attend their call, 
 Perhaps get iome, perhaps get none at all,

 If you get any, 'tis then with a flout, 
 And fuch old Scuff, you'd better be without 
 Then have it in your Shop, all will deny it, 
 And all your Cuftomers you will lofe by it: 
 So it is plain, there's none can drive a Trade, 
 Without good ftore of Mdney can be made, 
 Money does all things Matter, all adore her, 
 Nought can wirhftand, fhe drives on all before her

 He'l make choice ware for fuch,obferve their da , 
 And for his ftuff, together with his pains, 
 For ready Cafli, he's pleas'd with Mod'rate gain? 1 
 But where he knows, your pay's of longer date, 
 Then patiently you muft his Leifure wait. 
 Then Rotten Neat, or Calf and Neat together, 
 With inner Soles put in, ofbafe Hbrfe Leather^ 
 And fuch deceitful ftuff, to you he'l Bring, 
 Yet have the Face to Brafen out the Thing, 
 The ware is firm and good upon his word, 
 Tells you j none fuch to others he'd afford, 
 All which is true, for they muft better have^ 
 You grope not out, the meaning of the Knave^ 
 And then a price he fets ( for 'tis his Trade ) 
 i Higher then on the cKoifeft ware is made, 
 Thus they that Money lack, have th' hardeft fate.

 But when you come, for to perufe and look, 
 
 You will not find one word in all the Book, 
 
 Put either in or out, or yet Amended, 
 
 For that's a thing which never was intended 
 
 By th' Authour, but when e'er a Book doth fail 
 
 This is their Trick, to quicken up the Sale, 
 
 But when a new Edition comes indeed, 
 
 From all the Old Books, which they have, with fpeed 
 
 The Title-Pages then, they often tear. 
 
 And new ones in their places fixed are

 155. On Gripeing, and Opprejjing Mortgagees. 
 
 SOme Mortgagee, will at Advantage lye, 
 Upon the Rigour, of 's Security 
 He will infift, on Nicetyes will ftand, 
 He'l neither purchas all, nor part o'th' Land 
 He has Engag d, nor will he let you reft, 
 But he with Threats, and Suks, will you moleft, 
 So neither fell the Land, nor Let, you can. 
 To th' beft Advantage, unto any Man : 
 By means whereof, he knows that he muft Seize, 
 Further he 1 not Account, then he receives, 
 So he'l difpofe, and let at eafie Rate, 
 And fo will worm you out of your Eftate, 
 For he'l his purpofes (o bring about, 
 You'l never live, to fee the Mortgage out; 
 So by this Crafty means, he'J you compel 
 For prefent Maintenance, your Land to fell, 
 Then his own Terms he'l make, for him or s Friend, 
 Having now gain d the point, he did intend : 
 If he be told his doings are unjuft, 
 To look for's own, he (ayes he will, and muft, 
 The Law allows all he has done, he'l fay, 
 But Summum Jus eft Summa Jnjuria ; 
 And tho at prelent, it troubles not his Mind, 
 Yet afterwards, he'l wilh he'd been more kind, 
 When he on's death Bed lyes, he'l (7gh and izrone, 
 No Meicy*can Expefr, that none has Shown,

 Mis Confciencc then t accufe him, will begin, 
 Tell him Oppreffion is a Crying Sin, 
 And then he 1 cry, wu d he d more favour fhown/ 
 And wifti that he, the Land had never known ; 
 The gains he's got, by the poor Debtors crofs, 
 He finds will now be his Eternal Lofs. 
 Money nor Lands, no Comfort, now do bring, 
 A good Confcience, is thefole Soveraigne ching/^ 
 He now with heavy groans, repents his Evil, 
 When he's afraid, he's going to the Devil: 
 Who at his Death will Mercy beg and crave, 
 Muft in his Life time Mercy fhew, and have. 
 
 1^6. On Tzerge Men orLoyter Men. 
 
 TDErgers and Loyter-Men do Row and Bawl, 
 *■-* By Night and Day,their Boats they pull and hawl 
 Many cold blaft, and bitter Storm they bide, 
 Bet fair or Foul, they will not lofe their Tide : 
 But out theyl go, no Weather them will ftay, 
 What is'c that poor Men will not do for pay ; 
 fvloney's the Crown of all their hopes, the prize 
 At which they aim, precious in all Mens Eyes,

 Who take the Heads, and feveral Letters write 
 
 Of News at large, then to the Country fend 'cm, 1 
 
 Andtoth' Imployers there, do recommend 'em : 
 
 Thus Poft by Poft, they let them underftand 
 
 Tl\ Intreagucs a foot, afwei by Sea as Land, 
 
 Money for this, they quarterly receive 
 
 From their Imployers, thus they bravely Live: 
 
 Then to th; Imployers Houfes Men repair, 
 
 And Monty fpend, to read News-Letters there ,• 
 
 Thus both News-mongers, and Imployers gain 
 
 Money on this account, or it is plain, 
 
 No News at home, fromForaign States, or Fr4nee % 
 
 We fliou d rcccive,but reft in Ignorance, 
 
 Money does pry into the fecrct Thing9 
 
 Of privy Councils, and Gabals of Kings, 
 
 She Fairy like, unfeen creeps here and there, 
 
 Difcovers Plots tho whlfper'd in the Ear, 
 
 And when the Stroke is ready for to fall, 
 
 She (hews the Clan, and disappoints them all: 
 
 Her Charms arc fuch that none can them gainfay

 To wait on thofe, who that way do refort, 
 Them 'and their goods o're Rivers to Tranfport-* 
 This Toyle and pains they take for Money's fake, 
 Ne'er grudge thereat, nor no Complaints do make, 
 For fiich like Men do think, that Money is 
 Th' Royal diploma, of all Earthly Blifs. 
 
 1 5 p. On Water-Men, or Wherry-Men. 
 
 THE Wherry-Men do wait at River's ftaires, 
 And lanes near Water fides, expe&ing fairs, 
 When any come they think do want a Boat, 
 They run, hold out their hand, fet up their Note, 
 Sculler and Oares they Cry, and ftop your way, 
 Till th' Signe you give, they will not be faid Nay, 
 And when a Jolly Company they get, 
 They'l caft their Coats, and Rowe until they fweat 
 And day by day, this Courfe they do attend, 
 For Madam Money's fake, their Chiefeft Friend, 
 'Tis fhe on whom they folely do Rely 
 Them in their great diftreffes to Supply : 
 When her they have, of nought they ftand in fear, 
 For norhing they can want, when Money's there, 
 Money's the Idol, that each Man Adores, 
 And her Affiftance all the World Implores.

 And proftitutes herlelf at any time, 
 Brute-like, and has no fence of any crime.

 N\ Ow Mufe farewel, for both to Age and Youth^ 
 Thou haft difeover'd here, many a Truth, 
 Andtho in generall Termes, thou haft fet forth 
 The lame, yet there are fome of greater worth, 
 And Vertue, that above Temprafion are, 
 Whom neither Gold nor Money can Enfnare, 
 A dirty, or unfaithful thing to A&, 
 Or their Allegianee fuffer to be Craft, 
 And fo no General Rule there is, but hath 
 An Exception, as the Old Proverb faith. 
 But thou haft fairly thrown each one their Lot, 
 Some thou perhaps has pleafed, and fome not, 
 For fome will Laugh, fome fret, and fome deride, 
 At that which here, to them thou haft difcry'd, 
 But in this Cafe, thoufafely mayft Conclude, 
 That none e'er yet could pleafe the Multitude^
