| | | THE GENTRY to the King’s Head, | |
| The Nobles to the Crown, | |
| The Knights unto the Golden Fleece, | |
| And to the Plough, the Clown. | |
| |
| The Churchman to the Mitre, | 5 |
| The Shepherd to the Star, | |
| The Gardener hies him to the Rose, | |
| To the Drum, the man of war. | |
| |
| To the Feathers, Ladies you! The Globe, | |
| The Seaman doth not scorn! | 10 |
| The Usurer to the Devil; and | |
| The Townsman to the Horn. | |
| |
| The Huntsman to the White Hart, | |
| To the Ship, the Merchant goes; | |
| But you that do the Muses love, | 15 |
| The Swan, called river Po. | |
| |
| The Bankrupt to the World’s End, | |
| The Fool to the Fortune hie; | |
| Unto the Mouth, the Oyster Wife; | |
| The Fidler to the Pie…. | 20 | | | |
