Table of Contents

Give attention awhile to my rhymes,

Good people of every degree,

I assure you these critical times

Have reduced me to great poverty.

I’m a tradesman reduced to distress,

Dame Fortune on me long has frown’d,

And that is the cause, I confess,

Which compels me to roam up and down.
