| Hey ho, for a Husband. / Or, the willing Maids wants made known. / Full Fifteen years she hath remaind a Maid, / Which makes her grieve, that she so long hath staid, / To any trade she well can turn her hand, / As by her speeches you may understand / And to all sorts of humours can submit / Being active, brisk, and of a nimble wit. | |
