The Isham MS. 219 A lustie nutt browne wenche scant woorth 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 candle out to breake hir vowe

she kept her promise still, immagine how.
