( 20 )
Is this the great affection which
you ſeemed to expreſs?
Falſe woman then farewell,
whilſt twenty pounds do laſt,
My anchor in ſome other port
with freedom I will caſt.
when ſhe perceived by his words
that he had money ſtore,
That ſhe had gall’d him in ſuch a ſort
did grieve her heart full ſore.
Wherefore to call him back again,
ſhe did ſuppoſe it beſt,
Stay George, ſaid ſhe thou art too quick,
for man I did but jeſt
Doſt thou think for all my ſpeech
how I would let the go?
Faith no, ſaid ſhe my love to thee
I wiſt is more than ſo
You wont dead with prentice boys
I heard you juſt now ſwear,
Wherefore they ſhall not trouble you;
my George hearken thine ear.
You’ll not go tonight ſaid ſhe,
let what chance will befal;
But man we’ll have money for thee,
or elſe the devil take all.
So I was by ſtrong frauds deceiv’d,
and ſnared with fancy ſtill,
But had no power to put away,
or to withſtand her will.
My father’s rich, and then ſaid I,
ſhall I want ſtore of gold?
For with a father, a ſon, ſaid he,
may very well make bold.
