Pleasant and Diver tive. 107
The whiffling Gallants of the Inns of Court,
Do hinder their Studies certainly,
They're sometimes glad to pawn their Suit,
For fudling their Caps with Ipse.
The Papist, the Puritan Protestant too,
And all other Religions whatever they be,
Altho' in some Points they cannot agree,
Yet none of them differ in Ipse.
The Taylor that eats more Bread at a Meal,
Than any Tradesman does at three,
A half-penny Loaf will serve him a Week,
If his Cap be fudled with Ipse.
The Smith and the Shoemaker is not behind,
They never were, nor never will be,
If they be Drunk, 'tis but their Kind,
To fuddle their Caps with Ipse.
If Tradesmen they would but forego,
The Vices that hinder their Quality,
The Malt-man may go hang himself,
And the Brewer with his strong Ipse.
