Behold a Canting Miſer who of late,
For twice the value sold a faire Eſtete------
To purchase South Sea Stock, in hopes to gron
As rich as Croeſus, e'er it fell so low;
But fickle Fortune, that inconſtant Queen
Turning her Wheel and changing of the Scene,
Expos'd the Fraud that had so long prevali'd,
And with her Frowns the riſing Moſter queld,
Croſs'd the vain hopes of each aſpiring breast,
And ruind poor old Cant among the reſt,
Who non no more of Sjouth Sea conduct brags,
But mourns his folly o'er his Empty Bags;
Raves at the tricks a pack of Knaves have plays
And Curſes those for whom before he Prayd;
So he that Games and is by Dice undone,
Damns his ill fortune, when the fault's his own.
