44 2 Fancies and Fantasticks.John de IndagineWith all their Pagine,Of faces and Palmestrie,And this is Allmysterie,Lay by your Wimbles,Your boring for Thimbles,Or using your nimbles,In diving the Pockets,And sounding the socketsOf Simper the Cockets ;Or angling the purses,Of such as will curse us ;But in the strict duellBe merry, and cruell,Strike fair at some JewellThat mine may accrew wellFor that is the fuell,To make the Town brew well,And the Pot wring well,And the braine sing well,Which we may bring wellAbout by a string well,And do the thing well.It is but a strainOf true legerdemain,Once twice and againe.Or what will you say now ?If with our fine play now,Our knack and our dances,We work on the FanciesOf some of your Nancies,

Fancies and Fantasticks, 443These trinckets and tripsies,And make 'em turn Gypsies.Here's no Justice LippusWill seek for to nip us.In Cramp-ring or Cippus,And then for to strip us,And after to whip us.His justice to vary,While here we do tarryBut be wise, and waiyAnd we may both carryThe Kate and the Mary,And all the bright ae'ry,Away to the Quarry.Or durst I go furtherIn method and order,There's a Purse and a Seale,I have a great mind to steal.That when our tricks are done,We might seal our own pardon ;All this we may do,And a great deal more too,If our brave Ptoiomee,Will but say follow me.To those that would be Gypsies too.Friends not to refell ye,Or any way quell ye,To buy or to sell ye,I onely must tell ye,
