A pleasant new song that plainely doth show , that al are Beggers , both high and low , A meane estate let none despise : for t is not Money that makes a man wise . To the tune of Cuckolds all a row .

COme cease your songs of Cuckolds row for now t is somthing stale , And let vs sing of Beggers now , For that s in generall , In City and in Country , men from high to low , In each degrée or quality , Are Beggers all a row . How many men are there that liue , and doe no good at all ? And such had rather spend , then giue to them that liue in thrall , Los● a hundred at a cast , as much at the next throw , But what comes of them at the last , Beggers all a row . Some countrey Lads that backward thriues , left with a large estate , Weary of those countrey liues , they haue enough of that : The countrey then the City courts , a countrey life 's too low , For here are many tricks and sports , makes Beggers all a row . First for a Coach and horses , there s one reuersion flies , ● … ond … 〈◊〉 new Fashions , 〈…〉 … nities , 〈…〉 Maid and Man , 〈…〉 … e growes low , 〈…〉 … ch for a Sedan , I saw a handsome proper youth , and he was wonderous fine , But when I vnderstood the truth , his case was worse then mine , On wine and Drabs , he did all spend , which wrought his ouerthrow , So fortune plac'd him in the end , with Beggers all a row , I haue a Mistris of mine owne , that beares a lofty spirit , Though gold and siluer she hath none nor any good demerit , Yet will she braue it with the best , where euer she doth goe , And be at euery Gossips feast , with Beggers all a row . But of all Beggers he 's the worst , that doth complaine he 's poore : And euermore shall be accurst , that starues in midst of store , Let Vsurers therefore take heed , least to the Deuill they goe , That doe complaine before they neede , with Beggers all a row Gilbert loues the Ale-●ouse well , Dick will not be beh●nd , Iane and Tib , and bonny Nell , are to each other kind , For two full pots , come let vs ioyn● although our states be low , My money ●●●ll shall goe with thin● Begge●● 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ●ow .

The second part , To the same tune .

IN faith my Landlord is not paid , and what care I for that , My Grannam she hath often said , that care will kill a Cat , Come fill vs tother Pot good Boy , and then introth wée le goe , Come neighbour why are you so coy , we are Beggers all a row . Ione hath paund her band of Lawne , and Tom his fudling Cap , Ralph hath laid his Cloke to pawne , for to maintaine the Tap , The Ale-house thriueth best I sée , this all the world doth know , So here good follow here 's to thee , Beggers all a row . I haue another Teaster yet , and cannot be content , I cannot rest nor quiet sit , till all my money be spent , Too much money makes men mad , the prouerb plaine doth show , And want of mony makes men sad , and Beggers all a row . The bloudy fight moues me to wrath , betwéne● 〈◊〉 Dutch and Spaine , I gladl● 〈◊〉 ●ould know the truth , who 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fight did gaine , The D … ●●tempted as it s knowne , the S●●●●●●rd's ouerthrowe , Now b●●●●f them may make their moane , w'ar●●●ggers all a row . A Country man did sell his Nagge , thrée Heafers , and a Bull , And brought to towne a Canuas bag , with writings filled full , But all the money that he had the Lawyer puld it too , Alasse poore man thy cause is bad , Beggers all a row . Two men did passe their words of late for a Knaue as I did heare , They paid the debt , and broke their state for he would not appeare , Let others take example then , lest they themselues ouerthrow , To day they may be gentlemen , then Beggers all a row . I that made this song of late , haue well obserued the time , I de rather liue in meane estate , then higher seeke to climbe , My money is my lackie-boy , I send him too and fro , Swéet content I doe inioy , with Beggers all a row . He that begges an almes of heauen , cannot complaine he 's poore , His daily Bread , is daily giuen , what can he wish for more ? Thus all are Beggers euery day , all both high and low , In this we may conclude and say , w●are Beggers all a row .
