Jack had-lands lamentation,that sold and made away his state,and spent his money early and late;and let his wife and children want,now he makes great moan and does repent;and desires all good-fellows where e're they be,to take warning of his poverty.he was cast in prison at that bout,his poor wife she helpt him out;she had small reason to do that thingbut true love is a gallant thing;there is scarce a tap-house in london townwill help a man when he is cast down.
