Crums of Comfort FOR THE YOUNGEST SISTER The youngest Sister in despair , At last did comfort find , Which banisht all her grief and care , And eas'd her troubled mind , A kind young man did promise her That she should married be , She answered him again , Kind Sir , Thereto I 'm wondrous free . To a pleasant new West country Tune .

I Have a good old Father at home , an ancient man is he , But he has a mind , that e're he dies , That I should marry'd be . And since I heard of thy complaint , methoughts I pitty'd thée , To me thou seemest like a Saint , And thou shalt marryed be . The Roses and the Lillies fair cannot compare to thee , Then mine own Dear do not despair , for thou shalt married be I have been curious in mine eye , yet ne'r could any see , That so much pleas'd my fantasie , And thou shalt married be . All night between my loving Arms , thou shalt have embraces free , And i le secure thee from all harms When thou shalt married be . And wouldst thou have a pretty Babe i le quickly get it thee , Thy credit and my own to save , When we two married be .

A Thousand joys i le promise more and all the world shall see , That none like thee I will adore , And thou shalt married be . What though thy Sister is bestow'd , let not that trouble thee , On her young men some years have blowd Thou young shalt married be . Thou hast no wrinckles in thy face and so i 'm sure has she , 'T will be an honour , no disgrace , That thou shouldst married be . And tell me now canst thou deny so kind a friend as me , That saith thou shalt no Maiden die , But thou shalt married be . If I walk through the Vniverse I can no fairee see , But every where I will reherse That we will married be . I le Crown thee with the joys of love , some Mortals ne'r did see , And some shall wish that live above , Like us to married be . Can Hymen any joys provide , my Dear for thee or me , Out of his thoughts they cannot slide , But thou shalt married be . No , no , torment thy self no more , nor fear loves cruelty , Thou art the girl that I adore , And thou shalt married be , Give me thy hand , take here my heart , and be from sorrow free , I know the worth of thy desert , And thou shalt married be . 'T will be one day a blessed time and we from cares be free , When thou art married in thy prime That I may happy be .
