| The Love-sick Maid quickly Revived. / Within the prime time of the Spring, / VVithin a Meadow she did sing; / And solemnly these words she said, / I fear that I shall dye a maid: / But her Sweetheart in Ambush lay, / And heard the words that she did say; / As in this Ditty you may hear / If that you please but to give ear. | ||

| Title | The Love-sick Maid quickly Revived. / Within the prime time of the Spring, / VVithin a Meadow she did sing; / And solemnly these words she said, / I fear that I shall dye a maid: / But her Sweetheart in Ambush lay, / And heard the words that she did say; / As in this Ditty you may hear / If that you please but to give ear. | This Youngman he in Ambush lay, / And heard this Maid what she did say; / How she complain'd most civily, / For fear a Maiden she should dye. / till at the last blind Cupid he / Did wound his heart with her Beauty: / therefore to end up all the strife, / He woo'd and wed her for his wife. |
