 And unto Sarah Millwood then
 * his caſe he did report.

But how ſhe us'd this youth,
 * in this his extreme need,

The which did her neceſſity
 * ſo oft with money feed.

The ſecond part behold,
 * ſhall tell it forth at large,

And ſhall a ſtrumpet’s wiley ways,
 * with all her arts diſcharge.

ERE comes Barnwell unto thee, ſweet Sarah my heart’s delight, I am undone unleſs thou ſtand
 * my faithful friend this night.

Our maſter to command accompts,
 * has juſt occaſion found,

And I am now behind hand
 * above two hundred pounds.

And knowing not at all,
 * what anſwer him to make,

Nor his diſpleaſure to eſcape,
 * my way to thee I take

With that ſhe knit her brows,
 * and looking all awry,

Quoth ſhe, what can I have to do,
 * with any prentice boy?

And ſince you’ve ſtolen and gave
 * your maſter’s goods away,

Your caſe is bad, and therefore here,
 * you ſhall no longer ſtay.

Is this the love and friendſhip that
 * you did to me profeſs?
