                          (  5  ) Sugr’red words he gave me there,

prais’d me for such a one: His bonny breath and lips so soft,

and his alluring eye,

And tempting tongue that woo’d me oft,

now foices me to cry. All maids, &c.

He joy’d me with his pretty chat,

so well discourse could he,

Talking of this thing, and of that,

which greatly liked me.

I was so taken with his speech,

and with his comely making ;

He used all the means could be,

t’inchant me with his speaking. All, &c.

In Danby forest I was born,

my beauty did excel,

My parents dearly loved me,

till my belly began to swell.

I might have been a Prince’s peer,

when, I came o’er the knows.

Till the shepherd’s boy beguiled me,

milking my daddy’s ewes. All maids, &c.

When once I felt my belly swell,

no longer might I bide ;

My mother put me out of doors,

and bang’d me back and side.

Then did I range the world so wide,

wand’ring among the knows.

Cursing the,boy who helped me,

to fold my daddy’s ewes. All maids, &c.
