GOod People all pray lend an eare

to this my Song, that's strange and true,

Wherein I breifly shall Declare,

the full Relation here to you.

If any Misers you do know,

that hoards up Corne, to starve ye Pore,

If that these Lines you to them show

'twil make them sure bring out their Store

In Norfolk did this chance befall,

at Bowton where this Man did dwell,

And Goodman Inglebred they do him call,

who had great store of Corne to sell.

But he as many thousands more,

without any remorse or pitty,

Was folly resolv'd to kéep his Store,

to bring a Dearth in Town and City.

He being at Market on a day,

at Linn a place that's known full well:

And Riding home upon the way,

He had a Customer from Hell,

The Devill did him over take,

in Habbit being very brave,

Who did a bargaine with him make,

and Halfe-a-crowne in earnest gave.

The price was very great they made,

and Barly that must be the Gaine,

Eight shillings a Bushell must be paid,

being well contented with such gaine.

And thus the devill and he agréed,

likewise the time to fetch the same:

The Miser hy'd him home with spéed,

for to provide against he came.

When he came home he was full glad,

and to his Wife he did unfold

What bargin, and what price he had,

likewise what quantity he sold.

With that his Wife made this reply,

as by his Servants it was told,

None but the Divell would [...]ive so high

a price (quoth she) as you [...]te sold.

The second Part, to [...]ame the Tune.

[Page]

[figure]

To [...] straight he set his M [...]n,

to make it ready against the day.

And the Divell was as ready then,

against the [...] to [...]etch't away.

The day being come the Divell brought

his furniture, to take these stores,

With Horse & Carte, as to their thought,

the Man he straight threw [...] ye [...]oores.

To measuring straight his Barly out,

this man began with all his [...];

With that the Div [...]ll made a Rout,

and of t [...]e Bargain sone was fréed.

The Divel vanish'd straight away,

such Storms and Winds nere heaard before

No People thereabouts durst stay;

the Barns in paces all he tore

His Barne and Corne it all was spo [...]'d,

and all the countre round likewise,

Had all their Houses then [...]tyl'd,

such Winds they nere saw from ye Skys.

This Farmer fell disstracted straight,

he cannot take no Rest nor Sléep.

And [...] the Divil doth for him [...]ight,

his Bargaine he must with him kéep.

All you that hoard, and buy up Corne,

and [...] it up to make it déere,

Although you long long have béen forborne,

There's Rods in [...] for you I heare.

[...] now is brought about,

[...] you will ere long,

[...] you will be made bring out,

you shall not doe the Poore such wrong.

The Lord I hope will [...]eare the [...],

[...],

[...]

[...].

The Lord preseve our King, and blesse

him from the trecherous harms of those,

That are his Enemies, yet professe

they love Him yet prove secret Foes.

The Quéen God send her safe to [...]and,

and all the Progeny preserve:

Likewise for those that faithfull stand

and from him yet did never swerve.

My prayers shall daily be for those,

with many thousands more beside

[...] such I take his che [...]st Foes

that's given to Covet [...]ousness & Pride.

For you that deals in Corne and Graine,

to whom these Lines in chh belong,

Beware of such [...] gain,

where none but Poore doth bear ye wrong,

So to Conclude and make an end,

for Peace and Plenty, let vs pray,

That God may st [...] ye poore-mans friend,

for ye Poore are now the rich-mans pray.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
