made me cry,
_Like a great Boobee_.

From thence I went to _Westminster_,
And for to see the Tombs:
Oh, said I, what a House is here,
With an infinite sight of Rooms:
Sweetly the Abby Bells did Ring,
It was a fine sight to see;
Methought I was going to Heav'n in a String,
_Like a great Boobee_.

But as I went along the Street,
The most part of the Day;
Many Gallants I did meet,
Methought they were very gay:
I blew my Nose and pist my Hose,
Some People did me see:
They said I was a Beastly Fool:
_And a great Boobee_.

Next Day I thro' _Pye-corner_ past,
The Roast-meat on the Stall;
Invited me to take a Taste,
My Money was but small:
The Meat I pickt, the Cook me kickt,
As I may tell to thee;
He beat me sore and made me roar,
_Like a great Boobee_.

As I thro' _Smithfield_ lately walkt,
A gallant Lass I met:
Familiarly with me she talk't,
Which I cannot forget:
She proferr'd me a Pint of Wine,
Methought she was wondrous free,
To the Tavern then I went with her,
_Like a great Boobee_.

She told me we were near of Kin,
And call'd for Wine good store;
Before the Reckoning was brought in,
My Cousin prov'd a Whore:
My Purse she pickt, and went away,
My Cousin couzened me,
The Vintner kickt me out of Door;
_Like a great Boobee_.

At the _Exchange_ when I came there,
I saw most gallant things;
I thought the Pictures living were,
Of all our English Kings:
I doft my Hat and made a Leg,
And kneeled on my Knee;
The People laugh'd and call'd me Fool,
_And a great Boobee_.

To _Paris-Garden_ then I went,
Where there is great resort;
My Pleasure was my Punishment,
I did not like the Sport:
The Garden-Bull with his stout Horns,
On high then tossed me;
I did bewray my self with fear,
_Like a great Boobee_.

The Bearward went to save me then,
The People flock'd about;
I told the Bear-Garden-Men,
My Guts they were almost out:
They said I stunk most grievously,
No Man would pity me;
They call'd me witless Fool and Ass,
_And a great Boobee_.

Then o'er the water I did pass,
As you shall understand;
I dropt into the Thames, alass,
Before I came to Land:
The Waterman did help me out,
And thus did say to me;
'Tis not thy fortune to be drown'd,
_Like a great Boobee_.

But I have learned so much Wit,
Shall shorten all my Cares;
If I can but a Licence get,
To play before the Bears:
'Twould be a gallant Place indeed,
A
