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 them 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 there s any man or woman , that can directly tell Where s 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 both 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 .
