The Cutt-Purses Faier — November-1658 Ballett

Whilst many a True man felt the Fate
When Oliver did Reign
To be depriv'd of's Estate
And ne're to see't again
His Royall Herse (he being Dead)
The Cutt-Purse Crewe may bless
For that did stand Them much in stead
In Causing many a Press
Wher wattches store and Other things
Those made their Gaine and Prize
Mony Key Chaines Bracelets and Rings
From such as showes made wise
Soe whilst Alive He provd a Bane
To Honest Cavaleers
Inherst He raysd That Noble Trayn
And made Them prick up Ears
Alive and Dead, Dead and Alive,
A meeting Place shall be
But wher and How and which will thrive
Then, Ther's the Mistery
Yet Scripture tels; and All men know
Ther must a Judg appeer
And All shall Reap as they heer sowe
Cutt-Purse and Cavaleer.
