| 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, / VVil help a man when he is cast down. | |
