Beſides Wife and Children it is all my fear;

Therefore this folly I'd have you refrain,

For I am not able a Charge to maintain.

With forty good Shillings beſides a gold Ring;

And if you'll be willing this Match to promote,

I'll make thee a pair of Breeches of my old Peticoat.

I pray thee my dear to Church let us go;

O then to the Church they both did repair,

In joy peace and plenty they live as we hear.
