YOu Countrey-men that are And travell unto London, And there doe sell fat ware, Take heede you be not undon by Cupids snare. For I will here unfold A jest that was done lately, As I for truth was told By a City Lasse most stately, of Cupids mould. An Essex man came up Unto faire Londons City, Having thereby much hope To get a maiden pretty, but note his lucke. His father being dead, And left him land and treasure, He had a running head To follow after pleasure, till he was sped. Of Cattell he had store, As Oxen, Kine, and Horses, Now he begins to rore And follow evill courses, more and more.
A drove of Sheepe he brought Of late to Smithfield market, And there they soone were bought. The jest comes now, then harke it, for he out sought, To find a faire young bride Which might content his fancy, And soone he had a guide That brought him to fine Nancy, decked with pride. In Turnebull street she lived, And commonly used trading, From Bridewell late relieved, For using of her whoring, thus she him deceived. His mind she did fulfill In each respect so pleasing, That he was lusting still, With her to have some dealing: but note her skill. She told him she was one That was a faire young Virgin, And would not so be won, Untill she had a husband of her owne.

AGaine, quoth she, to him, Here have I no friend know-ing, Because Ile not by them Yeeld to my bestowing, till I see time. Quoth she, I am a Ward, And heire am to great living, Therefore Ile make regard To what man I am yeelding, lest I be snar'd. When as this youngster heard Her utter forth these speeches, His heart was newly chear'd, And for her love beseeches with much regard. Quoth he, Sweet-heart, I know I have for to maintaine thee, Howsoever the world doe goe, With all things fine and dainty, then ease my woe. My love to you is such, That I for your sweet favour, Can thinke no cost too much, Then let me lose no labour: sweet i'st a match? She said she would consent, If he would marry quickly, For feare of some's prevent That for her love was sickly, and did lament. Then kindly with a kisse He sweetly did salute her, And said, my Love for this I will remaine thy debtor whilst life I misse.
No longer we will stay, But with all haste be marryed, For feare that long delay May cause us to be miscarried, then let's away. 'Twas in the afternoone That he began to woo her. But ere next day was done, He marryed and made sure, as 'tis well knowne. The comfort that he had, When he from Church returned, Was, this poore silly Lad His head was sorely horned, which made him mad. The Wardship that she told Him, when he did woo her, Was but a tale of old, His mind for to inlure, till she was sold. When as he found he was Thus coozened by a Strumpet, He sold all, and left his Lasse, And with the Drums & Trumpet the Seas did passe. And where this Ward is now, I am not very certaine, But he doth her allow To goe and seeke her fortune as she knowes how. All you young men take heed, That rashly ride a wooing, For feare you take a Bride That proves to your undoing, as this mans did.
