Roaring Dick of Douer : OR , The Iouiall good fellow of Kent , That ne'r is willing to giue ouer , Till all his money be spent . To the tune of Fuddle , roare and swagger .

HEere s a health to all good fellowes , that intend with me to ioyne , At the Tauerne , or the Ale-house , and will freely spend their quoyne . But for such as hate strong liquor , are not for my company , O it makes my wits the quicker , when I taste it thorowly . I can fuddle , roare and swagger , sing and dance in seuerall sort , And giue six peuce to a begger , in all this there 's little hurt . Whilst some churle that s worth a million , will giue nought in charity , But to himselfe he proues a villaine : iudge who 's better he or I. There 's many men get store of treasure , yet they liue like very slaues : In this world they haue no pleasure , the more they haue , the more they 〈◊〉 . Hang such greedy-minded misers , that will ne'r contented be , I haue heard by good aduisers , that con●ent liues merrily . Wherefore should we liue in sorrow , since we may imbrace true ioye To day aliue , and dead to morrow , as most commonly they 'll say . He is a foole that pin●s his carkais ▪ if he haue to s●rue his turne , And perhaps sometimes in darkenesse , grafted is his head with horne . Hée 's no right true-hearted fellow , that in company will drinke , Till such time as he is mellow , and not fréely spend his chinke . Let such sharking base companions . be kickt out of company ▪ For they be but beastly hang on●s ; and will call , but we must pay . Come my Lads , be blythe and merry , sing and drinke and trace your ground , And let 's haue a cup of Sherry ; that ( me think● ) ●oes kindly downe . Le ts not spare whilst we haue money , for ●o pay for what ●e call , We needs must spa●e when we haue not any , that 's the greatest plague of all .
The second part , To the same tune .

HOnest Hugh , Tom , Will and Harry , they will ioyne their money round , Kate , Nan , Besse and bouncing Mary , will no● shrinke , but still are sound . They are Lads and honest Lasses , that to each others are kinde , They 'l sing & roare , breake pots and glasses , when their heads are tipt with wine . Some mens wiues will brawle & wrangle , if their husbands spend a pot , But my selfe I will intangle , with a Lasse to pay my shot . I doe hate these base conditions of a deuillish scolding Queane , Iealous heads haue bad suspition , you may thinke o● 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 meane . Women 〈◊〉 let me intrea● you , that you will not brawle 〈◊〉 scold , For it makes your husbands beat you , some men will not be contrould , Therefore rest your selues contented : best I hold it so to be : In your minds be not tormented : but take part as well as he . Me thinkes it is a worldly pleasure , for to haue a wife proue kind , T is a ioy beyond all measure ▪ 〈◊〉 ●y 〈◊〉 the same doe finde . If I had a scolding creature , I should neuer merry be , 〈◊〉 I many times should beat her , with her I could not agree . Tapster , come and take thy reckoning , tell me k●●●ly what 's to pay , Yet Peeces in my pockets rattling , bidde me longer ●hr● to stay , Come bring a pipe of good Tobacco , let it be the very best , That s the thing that here we take so , then come drinke with vs thy guests . Hang vp sorrow , I can borrow money for to buy two pots , Who can say to liue to morrow ? then let 's neuer sit like sots . When I haue spent away my money , I will goe and worke for more , And I haue a kinde swéet hony that sometimes will pay my score . He that hath aboundant treasure , hence shall nothing beare away : Then let 's take some part of pleasure , drinke and sing and fréely pay . Whilst our time and money lasteth , let 's not proue Curmudgeon boores , Time indéed away it hasteth : come let 's goe and pay our scores , Thus for to conclude my Ditty , héere s a health to all true blades , Remembring , Kate , Nell , Sis , and Betty , and all other kinde true Maides : I loue Meg , Nan , Alice , and Mary , Iane , and Ione , and my fine Doll , With Winifred , and my swéet Sara . Thus , kinde hearts , I leaue you all .
FINIS . R. C.
