<L>OF late I heard a dity,</L>
<L>was &s;ung in Town and City.</L>
<L>And it was cald the Glory of the We&s;t;</L>
<L>of a pretty Cavelier,</L>
<L>That &s;ong was made as I do hear;</L>
<L>and in my conceit it proved a pretty je&s;t,</L>
<L>But it you plea&s;e to li&s;t a while,</L>
<L>This Dity &s;ure will make you &s;mile,</L>
<L>Wherein I will declare the &s;ame,</L>
<L>of a gallant Northern Dame;</L>
<L>Who&s;e vertuous life, her con&s;tant love and worth,</L>
<L>makes me intitle her the Glory of the North,</L>
<L>Her hushand kept a Tavern and a noted Cavelier,</L>
<L>for being in Pomfret Ca&s;tle it co&s;t his pur&s;e full dear.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>All the Gentry far and neare,</L>
<L>re&s;orted to this Cavelier.</L>
<L>Some for love of him and others for his wife.</L>
<L>Although content to all &s;he gave,</L>
<L>Yet &s;o &s;he would her credit &s;ave;</L>
<L>her husband had no cau&s;e of jealou&s;y nor &s;trife.</L>
<L>All &s;orts of Sexes thither came,</L>
<L>for to view this comly Dame,</L>
<L>And &s;ome in zeale would try her skill,</L>
<L>to obtaine their wanton will,</L>
<L>B<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">t it they were uncivell,</L>
<L>&s;he<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">d ca&s;t them forth this jear,</L>
<L>I pray hands of &s;ir, touch not a Cavelier.</L>
<L>though Caveleers are poore yet hone&s;t will bee</L>
<L>And play our games &s;o fairely we care not who do &s;&eacute;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Looke what &s;ive &s;o ere you be,</L>
<L>you're welcome here b&eacute;e &s;ure quoth &s;he,</L>
<L>And &s;uch content as my hou&s;e can afford</L>
<L>you &s;hall have at your command,</L>
<L>But ide have you under&s;tand,</L>
<L>I &s;hun your company &amp; if you were a Lord</L>
<L>If you &s;eeke to wrong my Name,</L>
<L>or my credit do defame</L>
<L>By your ba&s;e uncivelty,</L>
<L>then I &s;hun your company;</L>
<L>For if you &s;eeke to wrong my honour o,</L>
<L>be &s;ure I then mu&s;t take you for my husbands foe</L>
<L>Comming or going a ki&s;&s;e i'le not deny,</L>
<L>but otherwi&s;e tis troble&s;ome and I doe it defie.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus her vertues and her fame,</L>
<L>had gaind her &s;uch an hone&s;t Name,</L>
<L>Mo&s;t of all that Country that lived both far and near,</L>
<L>that no Inne where&s;oere they went,</L>
<L>Could give the Gentry &s;uch content.</L>
<L>as they could have with this Northern Caveleer.</L>
<L>Thus her credit's long &s;et forth,</L>
<L>&s;he's cald the glory of the North,</L>
<L>For being &s;uch a vertuous wife,</L>
<L>and leading &s;uch a civill life.</L>
<L>But yet it co&s;t her husbands pur&s;s full dear;</L>
<L>for being in Pomfret Ca&s;tell was prov'd a Caveleer</L>
<L>It co&s;t his wife all the money &s;hee could gaine</L>
<L>her husbands liberty and freedome to obtaine.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>All the meanes that &s;hee could make,</L>
<L>it being for her husbands &s;ake,</L>
<L>Sh&eacute;e thought it not too much that &s;he did do,</L>
<L>when her husband &s;hee had gaind,</L>
<L>And his freedome had obtain'd,</L>
<L>thus was her love &s;o con&s;tant firm &amp; true,</L>
<L>Which brought them then in debt full &s;ore,</L>
<L>and chiefly on the Maltmans &s;core,</L>
<L>Who did on them no pity take,</L>
<L>but thought a prize on him to make,</L>
<L>Or on his wife; now marke this je&s;t I pray,</L>
<L>the man af la&s;t was deceived in his play,</L>
<L>Her husband then in pri&s;on &s;traight he ca&s;t,</L>
<L>but this &s;illy Malt-man did pay for't at la&s;t.</L>

<L>HIs wife then hearing of the &s;ame,</L>
<L>unto the Malt-man &s;traight &s;h&eacute;e came,</L>
<L>And did de&s;ire him &s;ome cour&s;e that he would take,</L>
<L>that her husband might be freed,</L>
<L>Quoth hee, &s;w&eacute;ete heart it is agreed,</L>
<L>if that you'l con&s;ent to the bargain I wil make,</L>
<L>So &s;traight hee whi&s;per'd in her eare,</L>
<L>and told her that &s;hee need not feare,</L>
<L>For her husband hee would free,</L>
<L>if to him &s;hee would agree.</L>
<L>That is quoth he to lodge with me one night</L>
<L>I meane to keepe it &s;ecret and your courte&s;ie requite,</L>
<L>Your husband cannot know nor of it under&s;tand,</L>
<L>grant but this reque&s;t Love, &amp; her's my heart &amp; hand.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus relating of his minde,</L>
<L>&s;he thought &s;hee'd fit him in his kind,</L>
<L>And out of pri&s;on her hu&s;band &s;he would bring;</L>
<L>to any motion i'le now con&s;ent,</L>
<L>This knave, it &s;&eacute;emes I mu&s;t content,</L>
<L>and nothing el&s;e will plea&s;e him unle&s;&s;e it be that thing.</L>
<L>Quoth &s;hee my wits i'le worke about,</L>
<L>but &s;ure i'le bring my husband out,</L>
<L>And yet my credit I will &s;ave,</L>
<L>but make of him a &s;illy knave,</L>
<L>Perhaps he thinks to make of mee his whore,</L>
<L>but &s;uch a trick i<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">le &s;how him &s;hall pay a Maltmans &s;core,</L>
<L>And teach &s;uch knaves more wit, when once they heare,</L>
<L>how this Maltman was &s;erved by an hone&s;t Caveleer.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then to this Maltman &s;h&eacute;e replid,</L>
<L>good &s;ir your &s;uit is not denied,</L>
<L>But which way I pray &s;hall my husband &s;ir be fr&eacute;ed?</L>
<L>quoth he, <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">w&eacute;et heart I mean to make,</L>
<L>A free acquittance for thy &s;ake,</L>
<L>grant but my reque&s;t &amp; it is done with &s;p&eacute;ed.</L>
<L>Then come at &s;uch a night quoth &s;he,</L>
<L>and drink a pint of wine with me,</L>
<L>Then to my Chamber you &s;hall goe,</L>
<L>none of my &s;ervants &s;hall it know.</L>
<L>This bargin being made, &s;hee to the pri&s;on went,</L>
<L>and there &s;he told her husband all her full intent,</L>
<L>Quoth &s;he &s;w&eacute;et heart come out with your k&eacute;eper &s;uch a night</L>
<L>Come up unto my Chamber love and there clame your right.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The time being come the Maltman went,</L>
<L>and thought to give this wife content:</L>
<L>Then to her chamber hee &s;traight way was conveyd,</L>
<L>the quittance in his hand he brought,</L>
<L>To reade it then &s;hee him be&s;ought;</L>
<L>but full little thought hee poore foole h&eacute;e was betraid,</L>
<L>With her he then began to play&punc;</L>
<L>but &s;hee de&s;ired him for to &s;tay;</L>
<L>Ide have you go to bed quoth &s;hee,</L>
<L>if that y<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">u meane to &s;port with m&eacute;e,</L>
<L>And &s;uch content ere long to you i'le give,</L>
<L>ju&s;t cau&s;e you<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">l have to think on me as long as you live</L>
<L>He then puts off his cloths and into bed did go,</L>
<L>this prity &s;oule undre&s;t her to but now begins his woe</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Her husband &s;traight began to call</L>
<L>quoth &s;h&eacute;e we are undone now all;</L>
<L>The Maltman hearing that began to &s;igh for feare,</L>
<L>quoth he where &s;hall I go to hide?</L>
<L>Here in this Che&s;t quoth &s;h&eacute;e abide,</L>
<L>for there is nothing in it but &s;uch cloths I weare.</L>
<L>Then in he went, but little thought</L>
<L>he to his &s;hame &s;hould out be brought.</L>
<L>Her husband &s;traight came to the doore,</L>
<L>what are you going to bed you whore,</L>
<L>When I'm in pri&s;on ca&s;t and money want to &s;pend,</L>
<L>my k&eacute;eper here wants money &amp; is my &s;peciall friend.</L>
<L>Alas you know &s;weet heart that I have none quoth &s;hee,</L>
<L>i'le &s;earch al the&s;e coffers here, but i'le find &s;ome &s;aith he.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Sh&eacute;e opened all about the Rome,</L>
<L>but that which was the Maltmans Tomb.</L>
<L>Come open this quoth hee, for here the trea&s;ure lies,</L>
<L>&s;weet heart quoth &s;h&eacute;e <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">rapy re&s;t content.</L>
<L>If this you &s;ee I &s;hall be &s;hent.</L>
<L>the Maltman hearing this the teares ran downe his thighs.</L>
<L>Before this Che&s;t he opened&punc;</L>
<L>the Maltman lay like one &s;tark dead.</L>
<L>Quoth he here is a &s;pirit here,</L>
<L>but with my &s;word I will him reare.</L>
<L>K&eacute;eper &s;aith he, here is mine enemy,</L>
<L>and i'le be revenged upon him by &amp; by,</L>
<L>If that you'l &s;pare my life &s;weet &s;ir, I humbly pray,</L>
<L>from all your debts i'le clear you &s;ir untill this pre&s;ent day</L>

<L>He then relea&s;t him of his debt,</L>
<L>this Sparke was out of Pri&s;on let,</L>
<L>And well contented to i'le warrant he was be&s;ide,</L>
