A MERRY NEW CATCH OF ALL TRADES
5 The Weauer thumps, his olde wife mumps, The Barber goes snip snap,
The Butcher prickes, the Tapster nickes, The Farmer stops ap ap. The Farmer, &c.
6 The Curryer toyles, and deales in oyles, The Cobler Hues by his peece:
The Chamberlaine cheates with musty meates, And doth the Countrey fleece. And doth, &c.
7 The Carter whips, the Begger skips, The Beadle Hues by blowes,
Yet whores wil be whores at honest mens doores Disphight a'th Beadles nose. Dispight a'th, &c.
8 The Broome-man cryes, mayd seruants buyes, And swaps with him for wares,
The Countrey asse doth to the Cosse, Sell Orchards full of Peares. Sell, &c.
9 Some Schoole-masters teach beyond their reach, The Mason deales with his square,
The Fletcher doth nock, and workes by the clock, The Beareward Hues by his Beare. The, &c.
io The Grosers pates 'bout thinges of weight, Is often troubled sore, The Taylors yard is seldome marde, Tho it measure many a score. Tho it measure many a score.
11 THe Iron-monger hardly deales, All Fruterers loose by th'rot: The Hagler buyes and Hues by lyes, The Drunkard plyes the pot, The Drunkard plyes the pot. |
