Jack Had-Lands lamentation : that sold and made away his 'state, and spent his money early and late : and let his vvife and children want, now he makes great moan, and does repent : and desires all good-fellows where e're they be to take warning by his poverty : he was cast in prison at that bout, his own poor vvife she helpt him out : she had small reason to do that thing, but true love is a gallant thing : there is scarce a tap-house in London town, vvill help a man when he is [c]ast down / To the tune of, It is old ale that has undone me ; This may be printed, R.P.
