Cheapsides Triumphs , and Chyrones Crosses Lamentation . To the tune of the Building .

SEe the guilding Of Cheapsides famous building the glorious Crosse , Trimd vp most fairly , With gold most rarely , refin'd from drosse : A pleasing prospect to all beholders , that shall but view it , and lately knew it Defac'd of beauty , but now a sumptuous thing : Whose praise and wonder Fame abroad doth ring . Tricked most neatly With cost compleatly adorn'd most rare , Who●e shining beauty , Showes the Cities duty and tender care : To preserue their rich & sumptuous buildings , in stately manner , such cost vpon her they bestow with honour , Such is the loue they beare which now is seene By Cheapside glistering faire . The Crosse there placed , Is now much graced , that it may be knowne , How well the Citie , With care and pitie , respects her owne : Braue Citizens of worthy London , such loue they owe it , and now they show it , freely bestow it Upon their City faire , with Cheapside Crosse There 's none can make compare . Search England ouer , From hence to Douer , and so about , The like to Cheapside , Faire Londons chiefe pride , you 'l not find out : Newly beautifi'd most neat and fairly , all may admire , and still desire , to gaze vp higher , To see the glorious state of this rare building , Rais'd vp v●ry late . O sight most blessed , To sée Cheapside dressed , in stately manner : May you perseuer In loue for euer , t is for your honor , To see your Crosse excell in shining all Cross●s elsewhere , to this comes not neere , now trimmed most rare : And glorious to behold , whose shining brauery Glistereth all of gold . This golden splendor Makes all men wonder , to sée Cheapside : In sumptuous manner For Londons honor , and 〈◊〉 beside : Put downe f●ire Oxfordshires chiefe beauty Abing●ons faire Crosse was neuer grac't thus , as is bright Cheaps Crosse , Now shining faire and bright , whose excellent splendor Giues the city light .
The second part , To the same tune .
KInd fri●nds pray turne ye , With griefe now mourne ye , to behold and sée An ancient building Now downwards yeelding , ah woe is me : The prouerb here is verified truly , old things are worth nought , but that 's a bad thought , for to forget ought Once esteemed deare , But yet al●sse Too ●rue appeares . In lamentation , I make my supplication to great and small , That erst haue view'd me , And now perus'd me , then iudge withall , That ancient things in these dayes are more is the pity that such a city , so wise and witty , Should not regard their fame , censure ●right , Then tell me where 's the blame . I long haue stood h●re , Mary bad and good yeare , pining away , Expecting euer , But I feare neuer to see the day Wherein my state againe sh●ll be aduanced , and all things made good , of stone or else wood , where I h●ue long stood , Expecting ●uery day I should be once againe Made neat and gay . Thou wert a deare one , Old noble Chyron , that plac't me here , My first supporter Of stone and morter , was seated ●are : But now you sée my top is downward bending my state is reeling , none hath a féel●ng to my appealing , That now in sad distresse to court and city My sad woes doe expr●sse . Some honest Courtier Be my Supporter , I now intreate , Some Lord or Barrone , Pitty old Chyrone , ere it be t●o late , For now my state you sée is down declining my ancient building , is downward yeelding , In wofull manner I waile my wretched state , Oh pity soone , for feare it be too late , In time I craue it , And faine would haue it , for mercies sake , Take thou some pitie , Faire London Citie , my foundation make , Aged Pauls and I may waile together and pray to heauen all may be eauen , and gifts be giuen By charitable men , to beautifie Our buildings faire agen .
FINIS .
