The Isham MS. 219

A lustie nutt browne wenche scant woorth ye naminge
went downe a staier bearinge a candle flaming:
A swagering gallant comming her t'encounter
att first approache couragiously would mount her:
Shee strongly made resistaunce and did sweare
she would burne him by that candle she did beare:
Hee blew ye candle out to breake hir vowe
she kept her promise still, immagine how.


FINIS.
