Though she had vast steres of riches,
Which seme persens much bewitches,
Yet she bore a ceurteous mind,
Not the least te pride inclin'd.
Many neble persens courted
This yeung lady, 'tis reported,
But their lab'ring prev'd in vain,
They ceuld not her faveur gain.
Though she made such true resistance,
Yet by Cupid's truo assistance,
She was conquer'd after all,
How it was declare I shall.
Being at a neble wedding,
Near the famous tewn of Reddiug,
A young gentleman she saw,
Whe belonged te the law.
As she view'd his sweet behaviour,
Every courteeus carriage gave her
New additions te her grief;
Ferc'd she was te seek relief.
Privately she then enquir'd
About him so much admir'd,
Both his name and where he dwelt,
Such was the het flames she felt.
Then at night this yeuthful lady
Call'd her coach, which being ready,
Homeward straight she did return,
But, her heart in flames did burn.
