Epilogue.
[Thus Hart to Dimond yeelds his place]
Thus Hart to Dimond yeelds his place,Who is the next must show his face,
With water-newes of speciall note,
From Argosie to Scullers-Boate,
He hath much matter to relate
Of Pirates, and Sea-rouers state;
What villanies are wrought by Knaues,
Vpon God Neptunes swelling waues.
Of eu'ry Nation, he knowes, some
Will play the theeues, vntill they come
To such an end as my last line
Concludes withall, the Hempen-twine:
For, though Pyrates exempted be
From fatall Tyburnes wither'd Tree,
They haue an Harbour to arriue,
Call'd Wapping, where as ill they thriue
As those that ride vp Holbourne-hill,
And at the Gallowes make their Will.
Farewell, farewell, in hast adue,
The Cardes wants Harts to make them true.
