<LG>
<L>COme and hear the &s;trange&s;t Story,</L>
<L>Ever Fortune lay'd before ye,</L>
<L>of a wedding &s;trange but true,</L>
<L>For &s;uch a one was never known,</L>
<L>as I will now declare to you.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>There was two maids in <HI>London-City</HI></L>
<L>One was wanton 'tother witty;</L>
<L><HI>Sue</HI> and <HI>Sarah</HI> were their Names,</L>
<L>It doth appear they married were,</L>
<L>and <HI>Sarah</HI> ta&s;ted <HI>Cupids</HI> flames.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A Gentleman that lived nigh 'um,</L>
<L>Had a mighty mind to try 'um,</L>
<L>and this <HI>Su&s;an</HI> did ingage,</L>
<L>That &s;he would go and Court her &s;o,</L>
<L>that &s;he her pa&s;&s;ion might a&s;&s;wage,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Di&s;gui&s;'d went &s;he, and fell to wooing</L>
<L><HI>Sarah</HI> &s;he would needs be doing,</L>
<L>&s;o &s;he quickly gave con&s;ent,</L>
<L>They &s;oon agreed to match with &s;peed,</L>
<L>but now poor <HI>Sarah</HI> doth lament.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L><HI>Su&s;an</HI> &s;trangely was di&s;gui&s;ed,</L>
<L><HI>Sarahs</HI> heart was &s;oon &s;urprized,</L>
<L>&s;o that &s;he did conde&s;cend,</L>
<L>She ne'r deny'd to be a Bride,</L>
<L>but her young Lover did commend.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>While her joys were thus compleated,</L>
<L><HI>Sarah</HI> was extreamly cheated,</L>
<L>which did make her vitals fail,</L>
<L>To bed they went with joynt con&s;ent,</L>
<L>and &s;he found a Cat without a Taile.</L>
</LG>
<P><FIGURE>
</FIGURE></P>
<LG>
<L>Now is <HI>Sarah</HI> much concerned,</L>
<L>But by this &s;ome wit &s;he Learned,</L>
<L>though &s;he for it paid full dear,</L>
<L>For from her eyes, with fre&s;h &s;upplies,</L>
<L>down trickles many a bracki&s;h tear.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L><HI>Sarah</HI> thought love her befriended,</L>
<L>Tow but mark what this attended,</L>
<L>and twill make you much admire,</L>
<L>That <HI>Su&s;an</HI> &s;he, &s;o arch &s;hould be,</L>
<L>to &s;et poor <HI>Sarahs</HI> heart on fire.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>With Sword &amp; Wigg was <HI>Su&s;an</HI> dre&s;&s;ed</L>
<L><HI>Sarah</HI> thought that &s;he was ble&s;&s;ed,</L>
<L>with a Gallant none more fair,</L>
<L>But pitty 'twas, a wanton La&s;s,</L>
<L>&s;hould be &s;o much mi&s;taken there.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now is <HI>Sarah</HI> di&s;contented,</L>
<L>Her mifortune much lamented,</L>
<L>Maidens then pray have a care,</L>
<L>Le&s;t <HI>Su&s;an</HI> comes with Sugar plums,</L>
<L>to bring poor dam&s;els into a &s;nare.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Quoth <HI>Sarah</HI> why would you abu&s;e one,</L>
<L>Whom yuo lov'd deceitful <HI>Su&s;an,</HI></L>
<L>why vvould you me thus betray,</L>
<L>Oh then quoth &s;he, 'tvvas jollitry,</L>
<L>that made me thus the antick play.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Let no one know how you mi&s;cary'd,</L>
<L>How mi&s;taken when you marry'd,</L>
<L>for twill make the world to laugh,</L>
<L>You walkt your round, &amp; then you found</L>
<L>a Con&s;table without a Staff.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Wonder not why this I write you,</L>
<L>To be merry I invite you,</L>
<L>and to none I harm do think,</L>
<L>Let <HI>Sarah</HI> grieve, <HI>Sue</HI> did deceive,</L>
<L>which made poor <HI>Sarahs</HI> heart to &s;ink.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>To all Maids let this be a warning,</L>
<L>All are wi&s;e that &s;till are learning,</L>
<L>Beauty is a meer decoy,</L>
<L>Then have a care, lea&s;t <HI>Cupids</HI> &s;nare,</L>
<L>do make you cur&s;e the blinking Boy.</L>
