The Worlds Sweet-heart : Whereby it is shewed that Mistris Money , Is the worlds Sweet-heart and Hony . To the tune of , The Begger Boy .

SWeet Mistris Money I here will declare , thy beauty which euery one adoreth , The lofty gallant and beggar so bare , some help and comfort from thée imploreth : For thou art become the worlds swéetheart , while euery one doth make thée their honey , And loath they are from thée to depart , so well they doe love sweet Mistris Money . Money is that which all men obey , the wealthy rich miser doteth upon it , He puts her to trading vntill such a day , and is very carefull in parting from it : It joyes him to sée a great heap of wealth , and Lady Pecunia is his deare honey , While he is content for to starue himselfe , even for the love of Mistris Money . The Citty of London doth take great care , to gaine her fauour by some new fashion , And for her sake they will giue you such ware , as there is not better in any Nation : For euery ones heart is now set vpon her , and she is become their onely deare Honey , Where euer she goes her steps they doe honour so well they doe love sweet Mistris Money . Though Moneys complexion be very white , yet I doe thinke there was neuer yet any Could equall her beauty which is so bright , so that she hath friends and louers many . Each one will lend her a helping hand , to carry abroad their dearest honey , And they will be ready at her command , even for the love of Mistris Money . Your Country men to the Market will goe , with corne and such other like prouision , And to procure money sometimes you do know they will sell it off vpon any condition : To cure their hearts of sorrow and care . the sauour of coyne is as swéet as honey , And they are glad to sell off their ware , even for the love of Mistris Money . The Shepheard that lyeth abroad in the sield , and neuer careth for wind or weather , Doth hope that his shéepe some profit wil yéeld , which makes him to kéepe them all together : For he wil sit on the side of a Rock , or else lye vpon a gréen banke that is sunny , And there he will kéepe his poore little stock , even for the love of Mistris Money .
The second part , To the same tune .

IN City and Country and euery place , t is money that is so much respected , For she can neuer receiue disgrace , since many deuises are still projected By those which séeke her fauour to gaine , and make her their onely delight and honey , For they will refuse no labour and paine , in hope for to get sweet Mistris Money . I thinke the world shall come to an end , before that Money shall be despised , For in euery corner she hath a close friend , and by euery one she is highly prised : In euery country where euer you ride , the sauour of coyne is sweet as the hony , And all the Inns on the roade doe prouide , to entertaine sweet mistris Money . Now Cupid may lay by his quiuer and bow , whereby sometime much loue was procured , Since now to marry they are very slow , vnlesse that a portion may be assured : For that doth carry their fancy away , so that young men doe make it their honey , And many a wedding without all delay . is made up for the love of money . Mark where you doe come & you shal still find , that for your money you shal be attended , My Host and my Hostesse will be very kind , but when that your siluer and coin is spended Faith then you may goe with much grief & woe because you haue parted from your deare hony ; For that respect which to you they did show ; was for the love of mistris Money . At Rome the priests doe make her a Saint , who cheat the people by fond delusion , And if that you no mony doe want , you shall for your sins haue an absolution : Thus in forraine countries whereuer you goe , this Mammon is counted their onely hony , And vnto you much kindnesse they 'l shew , even for the love of mistris Mony . The Seaman likewise will trauaile abroad , in storms & in tempests his heart nere faileth Vntill with commodities he be wel stor'd , and then through the Ocean he lustily saileth He cares not if that he méet with some blowes , for he so esteemeth his dearest hony , That he spreadeth his sayls and away he goes , & sometimes he bringeth home gold & Mony . Thus all mens affections are equally bent , to Money , which maketh them ful of mettle , And when they doe want it they are discontent , because their loue on it they doe settle : Yet I would not haue you to set your heart on worldly treasure to make it your hony , But to buy this ditty before you depart , if that you doe love sweet Mistris Mony .
FINIS .
