The good Fellows best Beloved:  
Now if you will know what that should be,  
I'll tell you 'tis called good Ipse he:  
'Tis that which some people do love in some measure,  
some for their profit and some for their pleasure.  
To the tune of Blue Capp.  
 

AMong the nine Muses if any there be  
that unto good fellowship friendly adhere,  
Let them give assistance this time unto me,  
for I in this ditty intent to prefer  
A thing that's beloved  
of rich and of poor,  
It is well approved,  
there's reason therefore,  
My due approbation  
shall evermore be  
In the commendation  
of good ipse he.   

All sorts and conditions the high and the low,  
although not alike yet all in some measure,  
Unto this my theme their affection will show,  
according, as they have time, stomach, or treasure:  
There's few live in purely,  
but they now and then  
Will sip it demurely  
both women and men,  
Both married and simple  
do jointly agree,  
To fuddle their noses  
with good ipse he.   

Both Lawyers & cliants that come to the term,  
how e'er the case goes of one thing I am sure,  
Before any business can be settled firm,  
good liquor & money the means must procure,  
A Tavern bar often,  
makes peace ere they part,  
Canary can soften  
a plaintiffs hard heart,  
Their glasses they sup off,  
and make merry glee,  
Such power hath a cup of  
good good ipse he.   

The Tailor comes rubbing his hands in the morn,  
and calls for a cup of the But next the wall,  
Be it of the Grape or the Barley Corn,  
he'll drink out his breakfast his dinner & all,  
He says call and spare not,  
I'll go through stitch,  
Hang pinshing I care not  
for being too rich:  
john Black's a good fellow,  
and he allows me  
To make myself mellow  
with good ipse he.   

The merry Shoemaker when 'tis a hard frost,  
says he cannot work for his wax it is frozen,  
Faith what shall we do, let us go to our Host  
and make ourselves merry with each a half dozen,  
With this resolution,  
they purpose to thrive,  
But ere the conclusion,  
that number proves five,  
They sing merry catches,  
few frades men that be,  
Are Shoemaker's matches  
at good ipse he.   

The second part, To the same tune.  
 

THe Mason and bricklayars are summer birds,  
the Winter to them is a time of vacation:  
Then they & their labourers live on their words,  
unless (like the Ant) they have made preparation,  
And yet though they have not,  
they nevertheless think,  
Tush what if we save not,  
must we have no drink,  
we'll pawn trey and shoal,  
and more if need be,  
Our noses to fuddle  
with good ipse he.   

Grim Vulcan the blacksmith is chief of all trades  
than think you that he'll be in drinking inferior  
No truly when he's with his merry comrades,  
he'll laugh and sing ditties you never heard merrier,  
He cries out he's hot,  
and still this is his note  
Come gi's t'other pot:  
here's a spark in my throat,  
He calls and he pays,  
there is no man more free,  
He seldom long stays  
from good ipse he.   

The Tanner when he comes to Leaden-hall,  
after a hard journey will make himself merry,  
He will have good liquor and welcome with all,  
the Bull for good beer and the naggs-head for shery,  
No bargain shall stand,  
but what liquor doth seal,  
Quite throughout the Land,  
thus most tradesmen do deal,  
In Tavern or Alehouse  
most matches made be,  
The first word's where shall us  
find good ipse he.   

The London shopkéepers that cry what do lack  
when they have sold wares & money have taken,  
They'll give their chapman a pint o'th' best sack,  
the price of it out of their money abating,  
The proverb observing  
they that money take  
Must pay all the charges,  
this bargain they make,  
Thus Liquor makes all men,  
most friendly agree,  
Both low men and tall men,  
love good ipse he.   

The honest plain Husbandman when that he goes  
to fair or to market with corn or with cattle:  
When he hath dispatched he remembers his nose,  
how that must be armed as it were to a battle,  
Then like to a gallant  
to drinking he falls,  
Yet though he's not valiant,  
he pays what he calls:  
He scorns reputation  
in that base degree,  
His chief recreation  
is good ipse he.   

The generous Servingment meeting each other  
as well as their masters sometimes will be merry,  
He that's a good fellow is loved like a brother,  
with making him welcome they ne'er are weary  
He that is a clown,  
as a clown he may go  
Quite throughout the town,  
such a fellow they'll know:  
But those that are right  
will in union agree,  
By morn or by night  
at good ipse he.   

In brief thus it is which both women and men,  
so dear affect that before they will lack it:  
They'll pawn all they have nay & so now & then,  
gown, kirtle, or waistcoat, cloak breeches and jacket,  
Although they want victual  
if they can get chink,  
Be't never so little,  
'tis most on't for drink:  
The rich and the beggar,  
the bond and the free  
Will oftentimes swagger  
at good ipse he.
