care and pitty wrings That three parts of the world the grace doth shun Of their Creator and his sauing Sonne And as the Christians few in number be Yet how they in Religions disagree Kings subiects parents children much diuided By hell misguided and by Turks derided And can a Christian thinke how these things are But that his heart must be possest with Care I would all Princes that doe Christ professe And hope through him for endlesse happinesse Their quarrels to each other to lay by And ioyne against the common enemy Who like a tempest oftentimes hath come Aduancing Mahomet in Christendome If Christian Kings this way would all prepare For such a glorious warre as this I care And here for mirths sake some few lines are made In the behalfe of me and of my trade But honest Reader be not angry tho They looke like verses I wrote long agoe But they by many men were neuer seene And therefore fit to publish them I weene I that in quiet in the dayes of yore Did get my liuing at the healthfull Oare And with content did liue and sweat and row Where like the tyde my purse did ebbe and flow My fare was good I thanke my bounteous fares And pleasure made me carelesse of my cares The watry Element most plentifull Supplide me daily with the Oare and Scull And what the water yeelded I with mirth Did spend vpon the Element of earth Vntill at last a strange Poetique veine As strange a way possest my working braine It chanc'd one euening on a reedy banke The Muses sa●e together in a ranke Whilst in my boate I did by water wander Repeating lines of Hero and Leander The Triple three tooke great delight in that Cal'd me a shore and caus'd me sit and chat And in the end when all our talke was done They gaue to me a draught of Helicon Which prou'd to me a blessing and a curse To fill my pate with verse and empt my purse By their poore gift I haue experience found What 's fit to be reprou'd and what renownd And that a Waterman a member is Which neither King nor Common-wealth can misse Yet we could well misse some that are too bad If better in their roomes were to be had But though abundance of them I could spare T is onely for the honest trade I care Some say we carry whores and theeues t is true I le carry those that sayd so for my due Our boates like hackney horses euery day Will carry honest men and knaues for pay We haue examples for it most diuine The Sunne vpon both good and bad doth shine Vpon the dunghill and vpon the rose Vpon Gods seruants and vpon his foes The wind the raine the earth all creatures still Indifferently doe serue both good and ill All tradesmen sell their ware continually To whores or knaues or any that will buy They ne're examine people what they are No more can we when we transport a fare Sapho a Poetresse a Lady fam'd Did wed a Waterman was Phaon nam'd Eyght Kings with Oares as histories doe show King Edgar to his Parliament did row And when the waters all the world o're ran Old Noah was the onely waterman I care what quantity of this same stuffe I write for I may doe much or not enuffe To end it therefore I will haue a Care And shew the Watermans briefe Character First though he be not of the female kind Yet he 's most like vnto a Whore I find For both the more vnready that they be Both are most ready for their trade we see The Watermen in shirts and Whores in smocks Both strip and fall to worke t' increase their stocks Besides a Waterman is much ingratefull And yet is his ingratitude not hatefull For vnder God the Riuer Thamesis His chiefest friend and best maintainer is It feeds and fils him giues him dayly treasure And he to crosse that Friend takes paines with pleasure Mine own vnkindnes I haue oft exprest For when I cros● it most it pleas'd me best And as an Hypocrite speakes fairest when He most deceiues so we poore Watermen Goe backward when we doe goe forward still And forward we goe backward with good will Thus looking one way and another rowing With forward backward backward forward going To get my liuing I haue thought it meet Much like a Weauer with both hands and feet Or like a Ropemaker I in my trade Haue many hundred times run retrograde But though the Ropemaker doe backward goe Yet is his worke before his face we know And all the voyages I vndertake My businesse still hath bin behind my backe But in a word let things be as they are Those whom I carry to land safe I care When I doe stand my labour to apply I neither vse to call or yall or cry Or thrust or shoue or rake or hale or pull The Gentleman or gentleman-like Gull A mayd a wife a widow or a trull Be he the greatest swearer on the earth Or the most dang'rous theefe that ere had birth Be he or they as bad or worse or worst Then any that of God or man are curst Yet if it be their lots to be my fare To carry them and land them well I care For why should I through carelesse negligence Drowne but a Rascall by improuidence In me it were an action most vntrue For robbing of the hangman of his due And be a veluet villaine ne're so braue A siluer silken or a Satin slaue And that I know and doe esteeme him so Yet with great care his Rogueship will I row Because I would not wrong the curteous Riuer With the base corps of such a wicked liuer I haue a care to looke about me round That he may liue and hang and not be drownd I take great care how I might Cares auoid And to that end I haue my Cares imploid For long a goe I doe remember that There was a Prouerb Care will kill a Cat. And it is sayd a Cat 's a wondrous beast And that she hath in her nine liues at least And sure if any Cat this care could shun It was the famous Cat of Whittington For whom was giu'n a ship rich fraught with ware And for a lucky Pusse like that I care But if Care of such potent power be To kill nine liues it may kill one in me And therefore it behoues me to beware That though I care not to be kild with care I care and in my care take great delight When by a Watch I doe passe late at night Such answers to the Constable to shape As by good words I may the Compter scape My serious Cares and Considerations T' Is said the age of man is seuenty yeares If eighty it is full of griefe and Cares And if we of our time account should keepe How halfe our liues we doe consume in sleepe And for the waking halfe account that too How little seruice to our God we
