The good Fellowes best Beloved : Now if you will know what that should bee , I le tell you 't is called good Ipse hee : 'T is that which some people do love in some measure , some for their profit and some for their pleasure . To the tune of Blew Capp .

AMong the nine Muses if any there be that unto good fellowship friendly adhere , Let them give asistance this time unto me , for I in this ditty intend to preferre A thing that 's beloved of rich and of poore , It is well approoved , there 's reason therefore , My due approbation shall evermore be In the commendation of good ipse hee . All sorts and conditions the high and the lowe , although not alike yet all in some measure , Vnto this my theame their affection will showe , according , as they have time , stomack , or treasure : There 's few live in purely , but they now and then Will sip it demurely both women and men , Both marryd and simple doe joyntly agrée , To fuddle their noses with good ipse he . Both Lawyers & cliants that come to the terme , how e're the case goes of one thing I am sure , Before any businesse can be setl'd firme , good liquor & money the meanes must procure , A Taverne barre often , makes peace ere they part , Canary can soften a plaintiffes hard heart , Their glasses they sup off , and make merry glée , Such power hath a cup of good good ipse he . The Taylor coms rubbing his hands in the morn , and calls for a cup of the But next the wall , Be it of the Grape or the Barley Corne , hée 'le drinke out his breakfast his dinner & all , Hée sayes call and spare not , I le goe thorough stitch , Hang pinshing I care not for being too rich : Iohn Black 's a good fellow , and he alowes me To make my selfe mellow with good ipse hee . The merry Shoo-maker when 't is a hard frost , sayes he cannot work for his waxe it is frozen , Fayth what shall we doe , let us goe to our Host and make our selves merry with each a halfe dozen , With this resolution , they purpose to thrive , But ere the conclusion , that number proves five , They sing merry catches , few frades men that be , Are Shoo-makers matches at good ipse hee .

The second part , To the same tune .

THe Mason and bricklayars are somer birds , the Winter to them is a time of vacation : Then they & their laborours live on their words , unlesse ( like the Ant ) they have made preparation , And yet though they have not , they ne'rethelesse thinke , Tush what if we save not , must we have no drinke , Wée le pawne tray and shovle , and more if néede be , Our noses to fuddle with good ipse hee . Grim Vulcan the black-smith is chief of all trades then think you that he 'l be in drinking inferiour No truely when hée 's with his merry comrades , hée le laugh and sing ditties you never heard merrier , He cryes out hée 's hot , and still this is his note Come gi 's t'other pot : héer 's a sparke in my throate , Hée calls and he payes , there is no man more frée , He seldome long stayes from good ipse hee . The Tanner when he comes to Leaden-hall , after a hard journey wil make himselfe merry , He will have good liquor and welcome with all , the Bul for good béere and the naggs-head for shery , No bargaine shall stand , but what liquor doth seale , Quite throughout the Land , thus most tradesmen doe deale , In Taverne or Alehouse most matches made be , The first word's where shall us finde good ipse hee . The London shopkéepers that cry what doe lack when they have sold wares & money have taken , They 'l give their chapman a pint o' th best sacke , the price of it out of their money abating , The proverb observing they that money take Must pay all the charges , this bargaine they make , Thus Liquor makes all men , most friendly agrée , Both lowe men and tall men , love good ipse hee . The honest plain Husbandman when that he goes to fayre or to market with corne or with cattle : When he hath dispatcht he remembers his nose , how that must be arm'd as it were to a battle , Then like to a gallant to drinking he falls , Yet though hée 's not valiant , he payes what he calls : He scornes reputation in that base degrée , His chiefe recreation is good ipse hee . The generous Servingment méeting each other as wel as their masters somtimes wil be merry , He that 's a good fellow is lov'd like a brother , with making him welcom they nere are weary Hee that is a clowne , as a clowne he may goe Quite thoroughout the towne , such a fellow they le know : But those that are right will in union agrée , By morn or by night at good ipse hee . In briefe thus it is which both women and men , so déerely affect that before they will lack it : They le pawne all they have nay & so now & then , gown , kirtle , or wastcoate , cloake breeches and jacket , Although they want victuall if they can get chinke , Bee 't never so little , 't is most on 't for drinke : The rich and the begger , the bond and the frée Will oftentimes swagger at good ipse hee .
