<LG>
<L>Dear Daughter that you mayn't mi&s;|carry,</L>
<L><HI>Rogers</HI> courage never cool.</L>
<L>Till you marry make him tarry,</L>
<L>pray now take your mothers rule:</L>
<L>My dear Daughter, pray now then,</L>
<L>pray now then, pray now then,</L>
<L>Maids are too much &s;lighted when,</L>
<L>They have yielded to Young-men,</L>
<L>For they can flatter, cog and lye,</L>
<L>and all their promi&s;es deny.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But if his love be &s;o intire,</L>
<L>when the Nuptial Bands are ty'd,</L>
<L>You may yield to his de&s;ire,</L>
<L>being made his lawful Bride:</L>
<L>If you cannot this obtain,</L>
<L>this obtain, this obtain,</L>
<L>Then his company refrain,</L>
<L>With your Scorn and high di&s;dain,</L>
<L>For &s;hould you grant him his delight,</L>
<L>then Daughter you are ruin'd quite.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But <HI>Roger</HI> he was &s;omething near them</L>
<L>in a corner mighty mute,</L>
<L>Where he chanc'd to over hear them,</L>
<L>while they were in this di&s;pute:</L>
<L>Notwith&s;tanding what he heard,</L>
<L>what he heard, what he heard,</L>
<L>For a while he ne'r appear d,</L>
<L>But at la&s;t the ca&s;e he clear'd,</L>
<L>And told them that he did &s;uppo&s;e,</L>
<L>they did not think him one of tho&s;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now when her Mother found him loyal,</L>
<L>by his hone&s;t fair intent,</L>
<L>Then there needed no denyal,</L>
<L>&s;oon &s;he gave her free con&s;ent,</L>
<L>That her Daughter &s;hould be wed,</L>
<L>&s;hould be wed, &s;hould be wed,</L>
<L>To his lawful bridal bed,</L>
<L>All her fears was fully fled;</L>
<L>Then many Dam&s;els fair and gay,</L>
<L>did come to celebrate the day.</L>
