e on our Case;
No Beau nor Town Mistress,
Are touched with our Distress,
But hold up their Nose at the Place.

The Lawyer jogs on,
Without looking upon
Th' afflicted, whose Moans he gives being;
Nor thinks on us Cits,
But Breviates and Writs,
And demurrs on Exorbitant Feeing,

The _Serjeants_ and _Yeomen_,
Who seek to undo Men,
Though Good-men and True-men ne'er mind us;
But rejoyce they get,
By our being in Debt,
And that where they have brought us, they find us.

The Merchant alone,
Makes our sorrows his own,
And allows there is none but may fail;
Since that is free,
By losses at Sea,
May be immurr'd in a Gaol.

His Purse and his Board,
With Plenty are stor'd,
Due Relief to afford to the Needy;
While the Priest in his Coach,
Joggs on to Debauch,
To cloath us or feed us too Greedy.

Others go by,
And hearing our cry,
They cast up their Eye in Disdain;
Affirming that we,
If once get free,
Should quickly be Prisoners again,

But let 'em take heed,
That reproach us indeed,
And thus at our need go by grinning;
Since it is so Man,
That there is no Man,
Knows his End, that may know his Beginning.

Of Gallant _Mercers_ into this Place;
With their worthy Caps of Maintenance,
Upon their Shoulders to their great grace:
Side by side do they go as you see here,
_Room for_, &c.

Next to them here comes the _Grocers_,
A Company of Gallants bold;
Who willingly do give Attendance,
As all the People may behold:
In their Gowns and their Caps with gallant Cheer.
Room for, _&c._

Then the _Drapers_ they come next,
With their Streamers flying so fair;
And their Trumpets sounding most loudly,
Attending still upon my Lord Mayor:
Their Whifflers, their Batchelors, and all they have there,
Give Room, _&c._

Then comes the Company of gallant _Fishmongers_,
Attending his Lordship's coming here;
As duty bindeth they do still wait,
Until his Lordsh
