English text

Of all the instruments that are,
None can with the viol compare.
Mark how the strings their order keep,
With a "whet, whet, whet" and a "sweep, sweep, sweep".
But above all, this still abounds,
With a "Zingle, zing" and a "zit zat zounds".

+None can with the viol compare.
-To all Lovers of Musick, Performers and Scrapers,
+Mark how the strings their order keep,
-to those that love Catches, play tunes and cut Capers.
+With a "whet, whet, whet" and a "sweep, sweep, sweep".
-With a New Catch I greet you and tho I say it that shou'dn't.
+But above all, this still abounds,
-Like a Fiddle, 'tis musick tho the words are but wood'n:
+With a "Zingle, zing" and a "zit zat zounds".}}
-But my Brother John Playford and I shall present you,
-e'er long with a Book, I presume will content you.
-Tis true we know well the Sale of good musick,
-But to hear us perform woud make him sick or you Sick.
-My maggot Man Sam, at the first Temple Gate,
-will further inform you, if not my Wife Kate,
-From between the two devils near Temple Bar,
-I rest your Friend and servant John Carr.
