| The Merchant of Scotland, / AND / The Unfortunate Damosel. / A Damosel fair in Scotland born, / Being full of grief and left forlorn, / ’Twas an English-man that she did love, / Who left her and unkind did prove: / In private she did make great moan. / Because her English-man was gone. / An Edenborough-Merchant there. / Her sighs and groans did chance to hear: / And married her, but in short time, / Was forc'd to leave his Native chine; / And sail unto some forraign shore, / Leaving her sadder then before. | |
