 THE 
 
 HACKNEY COACHMAN; 
 
 O R, 
 
 The Way to get a good Fare, 
 
 I. 
 
 I AM a bold Coachman and drive a gcrod Hack,, 
 With a coat of five capes that quite covers my back^ 
 And my wife keeps a faufage-fhop not many miles 
 From the narroweft alley in all Broad St, Giles, 
 
( 4 ) 
 
 Tho' poor we are honeil.and very content. 
 We pay as we go for meat, drink, and for rent ; 
 To work all the week I am able and willing, 
 I never get drunk, and I wafte not a milling. 
 
 III. 
 
 What tho* at a tavern my gentleman tarries, 
 Why the coachman grows richer than he whom he 
 carries; 
 
 And I'd rather (fay I) fmce it faves me from fin, 
 Be -the Driver without than the Toper within. 
 
 IV. 
 
 For the dram-mop I hatcand the drarff-drinkingfriend, 
 Yet I'm not quite fo good but I wifh I may mend; 
 I- repent of my fins fince we all are deprav'd, 
 For a Coachman, I hold, has a foul to be fav'd* 
 
 V. 
 
 When a riotous multitude fills up a dreet, 
 And the greater part know not, boys, wherefore 
 they meet ; 
 
( 5 ) 
 
 If I fee there is mifchief I never go there ? 
 Let. others get tipfy, fo I get my fare. 
 
 VI. 
 
 Now to church if I take fome good lady to pray, 
 It grieves me full fore to be kept quite away; 
 So I ftep thro' the door-way, for here 'tis the fin, 
 Tc loiter without when one might enter in. 
 
 VII. 
 
 Then my glaffes are whole, and my coach is fo neat, 
 I am always the firft to be call'd in the ftreet; 
 And I'm known by the name ('tis a name rather rare) 
 Of the Coachman that never afksmore than his fare* 
 
 VIII. 
 
 Tho' my beads mould be dull yet I don't ufe them 
 ill; 
 
 Tho' they (tumble I fwear npt, nor cut them up hill ; 
 For I firmly believe there's no charm in an oath 
 That can make a Nag trot when to walk he is loth. 
 
( 6 ) 
 
 IX. 
 
 And tho' I'm a Coachman, I'll freely confefs, 
 I beg of my Maker my labors to blefs; 
 I praife him each morning, and pray every night 3 
 And 'tis this makes my heart feel fo cheerful and light 
 
 When I drive to a Fun'ral I care riot for drink, 
 That is not the moment to guzzle, but think; 
 And I wifh I cou'd add both of Coachman and 
 Matter, 
 
 That both of us drove to amend a bit fatter.
