IN Yorkshire late, happen'd a desperat Fight, Betwixt a Jacobite Lady, and a Williamite: It was fought with such Courage no Man could do more, Nor the like was e'er fought by two Women before: For each met in the Field with the Swords by their side, Resolving the same should their Quarrel decide. It was after this manner this Frey did begin, At a Knights House in Yorkshire, at a Merry Meeting, Where many Ladies and Gentlemen dine, When Dinner was over then round went the wine; For each drank at that time for their share a whole Quart Then a Bumper went round for a Health at a Draught, Says the Jacobite Lady, Here's a health to our King: Says the Williamite Lady, That Health I'le begin; In the Field he's a Monarch that's Valiant and Brave, And has ventur'd His Life these Three Kingdoms to save; So Madam success to King William I say, And to all his Brave Forces by Land and by Sea. The Jacobite Lady being put to a stand, [S]he strake off the Glass and the Wine from her Hand, [A]nd call'd her a Rebel, yea Heretick too, [?] a Bottle to give her a blow; [?]e did hinder her furious design, [?]ould perswade her to Friendship that time, [?]g they did could her Passion asswage, [?] in a fury, and went in a rage, [?]ng she wrote a Letter with speed: [?] Williamite Lady the same once did read [?] she was challeng'd a Sword she must bring, [?] for her Drinking a health to our King. [?]it of her Brothers Cloaths she did put on, [?]ord by her side, so she marched alone, [?]her bold Challenge her fairly to Fight, [?]d that she feared not any Jacobite. [?] for King William, thus the Jacobite cry'd, [?] and will be while I live, she repli'd. [?]ou and I must have a Trial of Skill, [?]see I'm prepared to be killed or to kill, The[?]avely they pusht at each other I say, Till the Jacobite Lady was forc'd to give way, With their glittering Swords they bravely did push, Till the Jacobite Lady fell back in a Bush. Then a Man that did spy them came running in hast, And held as he thought a young Man by the Waist, While the Lady that's wounded lay blooding did cry, I'm wounded, come help me, or else I shall die. And had not this Brother come by as he did, This secret from me had forever been hid.
FINIS.
