Cromwell the Majesty of England, For the good liking he conceives of thee: Makes thee Master of the jewel house, Chief Secretary to himself, and with all, Creates thee one of his highness prive Counsel. Where is sir Thoma, Cromwell is he knighted, He is my Lord. Then to add honour to his name, The King creates him Lord keeper of his privy Seal: And Master of the Rolls, Which you sir Christopher do now enjoy; The King determines higher place for you. My Lords these honours are too high for my desert, O content thee man, who would not choose it? Yet thou art wise in seeming to refuse it. Here's honours, titles and promotions, I fear this climbing, will have a sudden fall. Then come my Lords, let's altogether bring, This new made Counsellor to England's King. But Gardiner means is glory shall be dimmed: Shall Cromwell live a greater men than I? My envy with his honour now is bred, I hope to shorten Cromwell by the head. O Friskiball, what shall become so thee? Where shalt thou go, or which way shalt thou turn? Fortune that turns her too unconstant wheel, Hath turned thy wealth and riches in the Sea, All parts abroad where ever I have been, Grows weary of me, and denies me secure, My debtor they, that should reserve my want, Forswears my money, says they own me none: They know my state too mean, to bear out law, And here in London where I 〈…〉 been, And have done good to many a w●●ched man, Am now most wretched here, despised myself, In vain it is, more of their hearts to try, Be patiented therefore, lay thee down and die. Come Ioane, come let's see what he'll do for us now? I wis we have done for him, when many a time and often he might have gone a hungry to bed. Alas man, now he is made a Lord, he'll never look upon us, he'll fulfil the old Proverb: set Beggars a horseback, & they'll ride: a wells day for my cow, such as he hath made us come behind hand, we had never pawned our Cow else to pay our rent. Well Ioane, he'll come this way: and by God's dickers i'll tell him roundly of it, and if he were ten LORDS: a shall know that I had not my Chief and my Bacon for nothing. Do you remember husband how he would munch up my Cheese cakes, he hath forgot this now, but now we'll remember him. I we shall have now three flaps with a Fox tail: but I faith i'll gibber a joint, but i'll tell him his own: stay who comes here? O stand up here he comes, stand up. Come, away with these beggars here, rise up sirrah, Come out good people: run afore there no. I we are kicked away now, we come for our own, the time hath been he would a looked more friendly upon us: And you Hodge, we know you well enough though you are so fine.

Cromwell the Maieſtie of England, For the good liking he conceiues of thee: Makes thee Maiſter of the iewell houſe, Chiefe Secretary to himſelfe, and with all, Creates thee one of his highneſſe priue Counſell. Where is ſir Thoma, Cromwell is he knighted, He is my Lord. Then to adde honour to his name, The King creates him Lord keeper of his priuie Sale: And Maiſter of the Roules, Which you ſir Chriſtopher doe now enioy; The King determines higher place for you. My Lords theſe honors are too high for my deſert, O content thee man, who would not chooſe it? Yet thou art wiſe in ſeeming to refuſe it. Here's honors, titles and promotions, I feare this climing, will haue a ſudden fall. Then come my Lords, lets altogether bring, This new made Counſeller to Englands King. But Gardiner meanes is glory ſhall be dim'd: Shall Cromwell liue a greater men then I? My enuie with his honour now is bred, I hope to ſhorten Cromwell by the head. O Friskiball, what ſhall become ſo thee? Where ſhalt thou goe, or which way ſhalt thou turne? Fortune that turnes her too vnconſtant wheele, Hath turn'd thy wealth and riches in the Sea, All parts abroade where euer I haue beene, Growes weary of me, and denies me ſuccour, My debters they, that ſhould reſerue my want, Forſweares my mony, ſaies they owe me none: They know my ſtate too meane, to beare out law, And here in London where I beene, And haue done good to many a wched man, Am now moſt wretched here, diſpiſd my ſelfe, In vaine it is, more of their hearts to try, Be patient therefore, laye thee downe and die. Come Ioane, come lets ſee what heele doe for vs now? I wis wee haue done for him, when many a time and often hee might haue gone a hungry to bed. Alas man, now he is made a Lord, heele neuer looke vpon vs, heele fulfill the old Prouerbe: ſet Beggers a horſe-backe, & theile ride: a wells day for my cow, ſuch as he hath made vs come behinde hand, we had neuer pawnd our Cowe els to pay our rent. Well Ioane, heele come this way: and by Gods dickers ile tell him roundly of it, and if hee were tenne LORDS: a ſhall know that I had not my Cheefe and my Bacon for nothing.
