R. P.

PRithee sweet Creature sit down by my side , I have no design to undoe thee ; But am resolved to make thee my Bride , and therefore am coming to wooe thee : If that thou wilt but give thy consent , there needeth no more disputation ; I shall have comfort and perfect content in thee , the sweet Girl of the Nation . Tell me , my dearest , if thou wilt be mine , 't is nothing but Love I desire ; All that I have in the World shall he thine , thy person I much do admire . Here I protest my love it is true , I never use dissimulation ; Let me enjoy but the favour of you the beautiful Girl of the Nation .

I Never fancied no Creature but thee , thou fair and most amorous beauty ; I do desire thy servant to be , and count it no more than my Duty , Nay , and I call the Powers above to witness this my Oration , That I will never prove false to my Love , the Beauty of all the whole Nation . Here I do promise , and give thee my hand , my Love , that I 'll never offend thee ; but will endow thee with Houses and Land , and servants shall alwaies attend thee : Therefore if thou to love wilt agree , there needeth no more disputation ; I never fancied no Creature but thee , the Beauty of all the whole Nation . Both Corn and Cattle I have a great stock , and young ones daily are breeding ; Three or four hundred Sheep in a Flock . with Lambs that are sweetly feeding ; I will maintain thee gallant and brave , and thou shall live free from vexation ; Had I ten thousand times more than I have , 't is thine , the sweet Girl of the Nation . Both night and day thou dost run in my mind , then prithee now do not deny me ; If you imagine I will prove unkind , my dearest I 'd have thee but try me : Here in my Arms I will thee infold , believe this my true protestation , For I do prize thee far better than Gold , thou beautiful Girl of the Nation . When he had told her his honest intent , she finding his Love so entire , This youthful Damosel did give her consent , and granted her true Love's desire ; Then by the hand his Love he did take , and brought her home to her Relation , Where he protested he 'd never forsake this beautiful Girl of the Nation . He was for making no longer delay , with her he was truly delighted ; And the young Damosel appointed the day , their Friends they was likewise invited ; That they in Love might both he linkt fast , according to Laws of the Nation ; And when the Wedding is over and past , we 'l give you a further Relation .
