1 YOU pretty Maidens all I pray give Ear, Unto my downfall which I declare, Of Parentage I am Near to a Gentleman, As some now witness can the date of year. 2 At 14 years of Age with Grief I tell, Many a young Man fair Loved me well, I being childish young Believ'd a flattering Tongue And set my mind upon a rich young Man. 3 For Two Months space and more he Courted me Day by Day, Night by Night he sate with me, He'd let me take no rest, I must sleep on his Brest, And then my Love I set on this young Man. 4 He said if I'd not yield with him to dwell, He would go hang himself what ere befell, He wrung and tore his Hair, And wickedly did Swear His Sword should end the care before us then. 5 Hearing him what he said grieved me so, I took him for my friend not for my Foe, Young Man said I forbear I pray let go they Hair, I'le ease you of your care and be your Bride.
6 He Leap'd and Sung for Joy befor me then, My Love and only Dear, Happiest of Men, He kindly me Imbrac'd, And hung about my Wast, And then my Love I plac'd on this young Man 7 Th' appointed Day was set we were to Wed, But first he stole away my Maidenhead, My Parents did not know I Lov'd this young Man so, Which prov'd my overthrow, ruin'd me quite 8 When I with Child did prove, and him had told He call'd me Twenty Whores brazen and bold, I know you not said he, Therefore be gone from me This wrought my Misery, his Love was cold. 9 I was a asham'd to stay where I was known, But straight away I went from my own Home, I wander'd up and down, From Seaport Town to Town, Till in Travel I fell down on the High-way. 10 Then taken up I was by Women-kind, Whose Friendship they did show, Nature did bind, Deliver'd then I were, Of Two fine Babies Fair, Which caused me much care, by warned bye [?]
