O yes.
If any Man or Woman, any thing desire,
Let them repaire forthwith vnto the Cryer.
To the tune of the Parrator.
O yes
O yes,
If any man or woman,
in Countrey or in City,
Can tell where liueth
Charity
or where abideth
Pitty?
Bring newes vnto the Cryer,
and their reward shall be
The prayers of poore folkes euery day,
vpon the humble knée.
O yes,
If any man hath gon
so long vnto the Law,
That he hath lost his wits,
and is not worth a straw,
That to regaine the saddle,
is glad to loose the horse,
Let them turne downe by Beggers-bush
and rest at wéeping-crosse.
O yes,
If any man there be,
that loues the crafty Foxe,
And yet the mumping Cunny,
will firret with a poxe:
Let him come to the Cryer,
and for his iust reward,
He may dye in an Hospitall,
and stinke within the Yarde.
O yes,
If any louing Wench
doth misse her Mayden-head,
And knowes not where she lost it,
abroad or in her bed,
Let her come to the Cryer,
and pay him for his paine,
And tell the markes of it, and she
shall haue it straight againe.
O yes,
If there be any Ostler,
has lately lost a Nagge,
By lodgiug in his hay-mowe,
of euery Tag and Rag,
And now is forst to pay for't,
let him trust knaues no more:
But now the Stéed is stolne, be sure
to shut the stable doore.
O yes,
If any Man or Woman,
or Mayden, if she be,
That hath by any sodaine chance,
lost some small honesty,
Let them come and demaund it,
they shall haue their desire,
Without telling the markes of it,
or paying of the Cryer.
The second Part.
To the same tune.
O yes,
IF any gentle Lady,
in Court or in the City▪
Hath lost all her Complexion,
the Cryer in méere pitty,
Hath got a box of beauty,
the like was neuer séene,
Fu
[...]l of the purest Red and White,
to couer blacke or gréene.
O yes,
If any gallant Squires,
who neare their bodies spare,
In any great hot seruice,
haue strangely lost their hayre,
Let them come to the Cryer,
and straight he will them fit,
With curled locks which like thē best
to couer all their wit.
O yes,
If there be any Cut-purse,
that the last market day
By chance did cut a Purse that went
vnwillingly astray,
With twenty Pounds in money,
let him forthwith appeare.
And if he chance to scape the rope,
he shall haue whipping chéere.
O yes,
If there he any Woman.
the which hath lost her tongue,
To helpe her to recouer it,
would doe her husband wrong:
For thus the good-man wishes,
if that she be a scold,
With all his hart that she might take
an euerlasting could.
O yes,
If theres any man or woman,
that can directly tell
Wheres any Petty fogger,
that takes no bribes, doth dwell,
Bring word vnto the Cryer,
he shall be payd therefore,
For he will neuer plead aright
the causes of the poore.
O yes,
Or is there any here
can tell me any newes,
Where dwells an honest Broker,
that neuer will refuse
To take ten in the hundred,
of such a one I pray▪
Bring word to me. I am his friend
a twelue month and a day.
O yes,
If there be any man
hoth lately lost his Wife,
Who neuer since she saw fiftéene,
did lead an honest life;
Let him thrée market dayes
expect to sée his euill,
Or mounted in a Cart, or else
shée's gon vnto the deuill.
O yes,
If there be any Lasse
that will her skill engage.
To finde a sucking Infant left,
of twenty yeares of age;
And let her bring him home,
she shall be welly paide,
And haue her praises prickt, & prickt,
and sent away no Maide.
FINIS.
