Hang Pinching,  
OR,  
The good fellow's Observation,  
Mongst a jovial Crew,  
Of them that hate Flinching,  
But is always true blue.  
To the tune of Drive the Cold winter away.  
 

ALL you which lay claim,  
To a good fellow's name,  
and yet do not prove yourselves so,  
Give ear to this thing,  
The which I will sing,  
wherein I most plainly will show  
With proof and good ground,  
Those fellows profound,  
that unto the Alewives are true,  
In drinking their drink,  
And paying their chink,  
O such a good fellow's true blue,   

But otherwise been,  
That brabbling will be,  
about any trifle to pay,  
When that he doth know  
He so much doth owe,  
yet basely will shrink his way,  
Or bring the sum less,  
Disparaging guests,  
which willing would pay all that's due,  
His Company I,  
Detest and defy,  
Because that he is not true blue.   

Somes Chaps are so nimble,  
They'll sit and lick the wimble,  
but when that the reckoning's to pay,  
Away they will sneak,  
And not a word speak,  
all which is approved each day,  
The which having seen,  
Doth draw me with spleen,  
to lay open unto your view.  
The honest good fellow,  
Who though he been mellow,  
In every kind is true blue.   

He's of the right mould,  
That spares not his gold,  
Amongst those good fellows that lack,  
If that they will drink,  
he'll part with his Chink,  
and looks not for any on't back,  
But is well content,  
His money is spent,  
among such a jovial Crew,  
And these are the parts,  
And chiefest deserts,  
That shows a good fellow true blue.   

Such difference I  
Do daily descry,  
amongst the Conditions of men,  
Some given are to fight,  
Some in singing delight,  
pray what shall be censured then,  
Why truly my mind,  
To him is inclined,  
by whom unto mirth I am drawn.  
For much I do hate,  
He that breedeth debate,  
But give me a fellow true blue,   

There's some of that mind,  
When that they do find  
a man that is jovial and free,  
They'll drink and they'll call,  
But he must pay all,  
or else undischarged it must be.  
Once being served so,  
No more will I go,  
into such a frivolous Crew,  
And so I'll advise  
All those that are wise,  
Because that they are not true blue.
