 Though she had vast steresstores [sic] of riches,

Which semesome [sic] persenspersons [sic] much bewitches,

Yet she bore a ceurteouscourteous [sic] mind,

Not the least teto [sic] pride inclin'd.

Many neblenoble [sic] persenspersons [sic] courted

This yeungyoung [sic] lady, 'tis reported,

But their lab'ring prev'dprov'd [sic] in vain,

They ceuldcould [sic] not her faveurfavour [sic] gain.

Though she made such true resistance,

Yet by Cupid's truotrue [sic] assistance,

She was conquer'd after all,

How it was declare I shall.

Being at a neblenoble [sic] wedding,

Near the famous tewntown [sic] of ReddiugRedding [sic],

A young gentleman she saw,

WheWho [sic] belonged teto [sic] the law.

As she view'd his sweet behaviour,

Every courteeuscourteous [sic] carriage gave her

New additions teto [sic] her grief;

Ferc'dForc'd [sic] she was teto [sic] seek relief.

Privately she then enquir'd

About him so much admir'd,

Both his name and where he dwelt,

Such was the hethot [sic] flames she felt.

Then at night this yeuthfulyouthful [sic] lady

Call'd her coach, which being ready,

Homeward straight she did return,

But, her heart in flames did burn.
