THE
BERKSHIRE LADY'S GARLAND.
PART I,
Showing Cupid's Conquest over a Lady of Five Thousand a-year, &c.
Tune-"The Royal Forester."
Bachelors of every station,
Mark this strange and true relation,
Which in brief to you I bring-
Never was a stranger thing.
You shall find it worth the hearing:
Loyal lovo is most endeariug,
When it takes tho deepest root,
Yielding charms and gold to boot.
Some will wed for love of treasuro,
But tho sweetest joy and pleasuro
Is in faithful lovo, you'll find,
Graced with a noblo mind.
Such a noblo disposition,
Had this lady, with submission;
Of whom I this sonnet write,
Store of wealth and beauty bright.
Sho had left by a good grannum,
Full five thousand pounds per annum
Which she held without control;
Thus she did in riches roll.
