The faithfull woings [sic] of two conntry [sic] lovers. The young-man he with carriage bold, did oft salute the maiden, and unto her these words he told, his heart with love was laden; and if to him her love she'd grant he'd do his best indeavour.

〈…〉 The Young-man he with carriage bold , did oft salute the Maiden , And unto her these words he told , his heart with love was laden ; And if to him her love she 'd grant he 'd do his best indeavour . To maintain her she should not want , and he 'd forsake her never . Because he was poor the maid was coy , and would not have him entertain'd But at last he became her love and joy , and much wealth with her he gain'd .

AS I was walking forth of late in the prime of the weather , I spide a young man and a maid both walking close together . The man begun , and thus he sung , swéet heart do not forgo me , Love me little and love me long , for I do come to woo thee . Maid . Woo me good sir for what intent : you surely do but jear me ; I ne're knew yet what Love meant , how then should I love you dearly ? I am too young to be a wife and no love I can afford ye , I hold still best a single life my Maiden head will not load me . Man . Ye do but jest swéet heart , quoth he , my honour so to stain love . My heart is Royal unto thée and so it shall remain love . My love is set on none but thée sweacute ; et heart meaning no harm to do thée Then let all sorrows from thée part , for I do come to woo thee . Maid . It is but in vain young man , quoth she to talk of such a matter , Then speak no more of Love to me , I know you do but flatter ; For young men they will cog and lye and make much to abode yée , But I am resolved a maid to dy , my Maiden head will not load me . Man . 'T is true my dear , I must confess , that is but a light carriage , Yet I wish I had the happiness to joyn with you in marriage Though I cant court and complement with fine spéeches to thée , My heart is good and fully bent at this time for to woo thee .

Maid . ALas ! good sir your time you waste it so séems by your talking If that you be in such haste , I pray you now be walking ; The door is wide you may be gone no love I can afford ye : I had rather still to lye alone my Maiden-head will not load me . Man . What is the cause , my Dear , of this you should be so offended , If I have spoke any thing amisse it shall be straight way amended : But what I speak is from my heart meaning no harm to do thée , Then let all sorrows from thée part , for my minde is still to woo thee . Maid . I sée sorrow with you is rife , and joy doth much refrain ye But if I should become your wife , pray , how would you maintain me : That is a thing to consider on , If love I should afford yee ; Yet rather still to lye alone my Maiden head will not load me . Man . To maintain thée , my hearts delight , I 'le do my best indeavour ; I 'le work for thée both night and day , and I 'le forsake thée never . In wealth and woe on thée I 'le tend so thou 'lt set no man above me ; My person thy life it shall defend , for dearly I do love thee . Maid . Well if you do but say and hold , what you do want I have it , I have seven hundred pound in gold thou shalt quickly crave it ; All this to thée I 'le fréely give and never more forgo thée , But ever after while I live , I 'le prove a good wife to thee . Man . He straight way took her by the hand , and a loving kiss then gave her , Quoth he , I am at your command to do my best endeavour . Now I am thine and thou art mine in spight of stormy weather , So they both took hand in hand , and both went home together . Man . Let all Lovers think on this , and be no more offended , And those that have done amiss strive in love to mend it . For my own part I gain'd a love the truth I will not smother , Though I was poor , yet she was rich , t'on will help out with t'other . FINIS . J. W.
