WIlliam and Susan they happily meeting , straight thay sat down by a Rivers side , Where I discover'd these true Lovers greeting Susan , said he , wilt thou he my Bride , : Why should we any longer tarry , let us in perfect love agree , Here I protest if I ever Marry , I will have none in the world but thee . I will endue thee with Iewels and treasure , always maintain thee both neat and brave , There is no Lady enioys greater pleasure , thou shalt have what thy whole heart can crave : Prithee my dearest do but try me , for I delight in Loyalty , Grant me the blessing , and don 't deny me , sure I love none in the World but thee .

NOthing but true love alone I require , do not torment me with any frown , I will adorn thee with costly attire , there is no Lady in London Town That shall be able to Out-Vse thee : never was Man more kind and free , Iewels and other rich Iemms i 'le buy thee , for I love none in the World but thee . William i 'de have you to leave of your Wooeing , I have another true love in store , Why should you thus run on the Rock of Ruin , is there not many young Beauties more ? Dearest though there be ne'r so many , this is but small content to me , If that I ever do marry any , it shall be none in the World but thee . For thee i 'le ingage in the sharpest Duel , e're any person shall me abuse , Thus in the taking away my dear Iewel , as long as I have a life to lose : I am unworthy of thy favour , if I should then a Coward be , Loose thee , my dearest , O dye I had rather for I love none in the world but thee . Said she , you have made here a large relation , how you will venture for me the field , Nay like wise in what a most noble station , you would maintain me , would I but yield , Yet you may happen to deceive me , young-men are often false we see , Susan said he , if thou wilt believe me , I love no Creature alive but thee : Dearest I am thy unfeighned pretender ; what I was first I am still the same , All that I have I will freely surrender , to thee , or else I was much to blame : Sure I can ne'r be so ungrateful , as to return a frown on thee There is nothing that I hold so hateful , than to be found in disloyalty .

The Maidens Reply .

Love , I no longer can stop your proceeding , this with a trembling voice she sayd My heart is wounded , which now does lye bleeding , of me you have surely a conquest made : Love is a soft and gentle fire , which does compell me to agree , Thou art the man whom I much admire ; now I love none in the World but thee . Never was creature adorn'd with more graces , then his dear darling who was not coy , And the young Squire with tender Imbraces , in the sweet Raptures of Love and joy , The which is far beyond expressing , my loyal lover rhen said she , No one but thee shall enjoy the blessing . now I love none in the World but thee . FINIS .
