A Catch of the Beggars.
From hunger and cold who lives more free,
Or who lives a merrier life than we;

Let rich men care, we feel no sorrow.

The City, and Town, and every village
Afford us [either] an Alms, or a Pillage;
And if the weather be cold and raw,
Then in a Barn we tumble in straw:
If fair and warm, in yea-Cock and nay-Cock
The Fields afford us a hedge or a hey-Cock.

From Hugh Peters Pulpit to S. Peters Chair,
One that doth defie the Crosier and the Crown,
But yet can bouze with Blades that Carrouze
