 THE

Wandering Young Gentlewoman;

OR,

IN FIVE PARTS.

I. How an Esquire's Daughter near London was forced from home by her Father's cruelty, but through her tender Mother, was well educated and clothed in rich array. When she came to understand she was hated by her Father, she made a robe of Cat-skins, with which she wandered, carrying rich attire and jewels with her.

II. How one night she went to a Knight's house, where she begged for a night's lodging in the Stable, which was granted her.

III. A very comical and pleasant passage, which passed between Cat-skins and the young Esquire the Knight's Son.

IV. In what manner he came to catch Cat-skins in her rich attire, and how he fell in love with her, and got his Parent's consent; he going to bed, feigning himself sick, and made Cat-skins his nurse, with an account of their marriage.

V. An account of the death of her Mother and Sister. Her Father drest like a Beggar, went to her gate, where he tried for charity.
