<L><GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 word"> a good Husband was not to be found:</L>
<L><GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 word"> of this I will tell to you now,</L>

<L><GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 word"> to this per&s;on a Suitor to go;</L>
<L><GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 word"> at the pre&s;ent alas I am poor,</L>

<L>But if do get her, I then &s;hall be made,</L>
<L>Therefore I will put on the be&s;t of my Cloaths,</L>
<L>My Hat, with my Band, and my <HI>Holy-day</HI>-Ho&s;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The hopes of this Fortune his fancy did feed,</L>
<L>And therefore to her he did ha&s;ten with &s;peed</L>
<L>When coming he &s;traight for this per&s;on did ask,</L>
<L>She came her own &s;elf in a fine Vi&s;or-Mask;</L>
<L>And &s;aid, I am &s;he Sir, pay what would you have?</L>
<L>I'm come, quoth the <HI>Taylor,</HI> your Love for to crave,</L>
<L>She open'd the door, and bid him welcome in,</L>
<L>And then to his Courting he &s;traight did begin.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The <HI>Taylor</HI> went on with a noble good grace,</L>
<L>Like one of much Courage his Love to Embrace;</L>
<L>Thought he, with a Fortune I now &s;hall be ble&s;t,</L>
<L>But li&s;ten I pray to the Cream of the Ie&s;t:</L>
<L>She pull'd off her Vizor, and turn'd her about,</L>
<L>And &s;traightway the <HI>Taylor</HI> beheld her long Snout;</L>
<L>Ah! how he was frighted and run out of door.</L>
<L>And vow'd he would never come near her no more.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The next was a <HI>Miler,</HI> who to her did Ride,</L>
<L>Re&s;olved he was for to make her his Bride;</L>
<L>Quoth he, as I now am a right hone&s;t Man,</L>
<L>I'le Wed her and Love her as well as I can:</L>
<L>For Beauty, O let it be now as it will,</L>
<L>As long as the brings me good Grift to the Mill;</L>
<L>Both Silver and Gold I &s;hall have at command;</L>
<L>With which I will Purcha&s;e me Hou&s;es and Land.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I now in conceit am as great as a Lord</L>
<L>What plea&s;ures &s;oever the World can afford,</L>
<L>I'le have it, and likewi&s;e in Silver will &s;hine,</L>
<L>Then <HI>Gillian</HI> will wonder to &s;ee me &s;o fine:</L>
<L>To <HI>Robin</HI> my Servant i'le give my great Bowl,</L>
<L>With which I was formerly us'd to take Toll,</L>
<L>And likewi&s;e the Mill, if I Marry this Maid,</L>
<L>For never no more will I follow the Trade.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>As he was a riding to her on his Mare,</L>
<L>He thus was a building Ca&s;tles in the <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 letter">ir;</L>
<L>But when he beheld her mo&s;t amiable Face,</L>
<L>Alas! he was &s;oon in a &s;orrowful ca&s;e:</L>
<L>His hopes were confounded, away he did run,</L>
<L>Saying, &s;hould I have her, a thou&s;and to one</L>
<L>But I &s;hall be frighted, when her I behold,</L>
<L>Therefore I'le not have her for Silver or Gold.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Both <HI>Tinkers</HI> and <HI>Tanners,</HI> and <HI>Glovers</HI> al&s;o</L>
<L>Came to her, the Money encouraged them &s;o;</L>
<L>Nay, thou&s;ands came to her then every day,</L>
<L>Each &s;triving to carry this Beauty away:</L>
<L>But when they beheld this mo&s;t ordinary Stuff,</L>
<L>The &s;ight of her Vi&s;age did give them enuff;</L>
<L>Yet if &s;he be Marry'd while here &s;he does live,</L>
<L>A perfect account of the Wedding I'le give.</L>
