ne'er a thriving trader,

that daily cheats the town,

But Beelzebub his leader

will mark him for his own,

And alſo take a ſpecial care,

that he ſhall undergo,

For evermore the wretched fate,

of his dark ſhades below.

There's ne'er a crime can fix on them,

except to ſing and love.

we'll decently paſs by,

Since true religious teachers,

ſhould Beelzebub defy;

But for the Clerk and Sexton,

who vilely rob the dead,

The Fiend ſhall have a ſhare of them

as ſure as loaf is bread.

Chor. Whilſt the merry, &c.
