THE CRYER

Good Folke, for Gold or Hyre,

But helpe me to a Cryer;

For my poore Heart is runne astray

After two Eyes, that pass'd this way.

O yes, O yes, O yes,

If there be any Man,

In Towne or Countrey, can

Bring me my Heart againe,

Ile please him for his paine;

And by these Marks I will you show, 10

That onely I this Heart doe owe.

It is a wounded Heart,

Wherein yet sticks the Dart,

Eu'ry piece sore hurt throughout it,

Faith, and Troth, writ round about it:

It was a tame Heart, and a deare,

And neuer vs'd to roame;

But hauing got this Haunt, I feare

'Twill hardly stay at home.

For Gods sake, walking by the way, 20

If you my Heart doe see,

Either impound it for a Stray,

Or send it backe to me.
