Fayre Warning , OR , Happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . To the tune of Packingtons pound .

THe World is orerun with enormous abuse , Pure vertue and honesty do now decrease , One vice on the neck of another pursues , T is growne to a custome that hardly will cease , but blessed is he who when he doth sée such vices in others , reformed will be , For happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . Then be well advisd whoever thou art , By other mens danger their wayes to forsake , And when thou seest any for his folly smart , Then sée that good use of the same thou dost make : and when thou dost sée how bad others bée , Say thou to thy selfe , here 's example for mée . O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . If thou sée a man who is proud and ambitious , Like searing Phaeton striue to aspire , Presuming his Fated will be ever auspicious , He boldly will clime till he can go no higher : if fortune should frowne , he may tumble downe , Then hée le be derided of every clowne , Thus happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . If thou sée a Gentleman striue for the wall , And hazard his life for a phantasie vaine , This is the occasion of many a brawll , But he that s a wiseman from that will refraine : t is better giue place to one that s more base , Then hazard thy life in so desperate a case : O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes .
The second Part. To the same Tune .

If thou sée a whoremonger passing at leasure , Halfe fearfull his legs will drop off by the knées , When every iustle may do him displeasure , He hath béen so stung with the Turnbull-stréet Bées . when thou séest his case , beware of that place , Which brings a man nothing but shame and disgrace : O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . If thou sée a man who hath béen an ill liuer , By hanging himselfe , to kill body and soule , T is fit his example should make thée endeauour That thy heart nere harbour a proiect so foule , O what a vile shame he brings on his name , His children will after be twit with the same : O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . If thou séest a Iudge malefactors condemne For rapine or murder , or such haynous acts , T is fit thou shouldst take an example by them , Who must by the Law suffer death for their facts : their wayes thou mayst flée , because thou dost sée The reason , and therefore they hanged must be : O happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . If thou séest a drunkard come réeling ' i th' street , And cutting crosse capers oft times through the durt , Still ready to quarrell with all he doth méet , Whereby he goe●● seldome to bed without hurt : O then thou mayst think comes all this through drink ; Sare I from the Alehouse in good time will shrink . O Happy is he whom other &c. If thou sée a rogue to the Pillory brought For periury or else some cousening feat , To looke on his panishment thou mayst be taught To liue more vprightly , and vse no deceit . if thou loue thine eare , then do not come there To looke vpon him may make thée to feare . O Happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . If thou sée a wealthy man grow very poore By passing his credit for other mens debts , Whereby he 's constrayned to kéepe within doore For feare lest a Sergeant in s clutches him gets , be therefore aware of this cruell snare : By suretiship many men beggerd are : But happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes . Thus euery man who is willing to learn , Of other mens follies may make a good vse , And by their iust punishment he may return From vice vnto vertue , reforming abuse , the which if he can , he is a blest man , And thus I le conclude with the same I began , That happy is he whom other mens harmes Can make to beware , and to shun Satans charmes .
