Ballad Title The Lusty MILLER'S Recreation: OR, / The Buxome Females chief Delight. / Being a most pleasant Design between a certain Miller, the Good-wife, and her Three Daughters. / A most Delectable New Song, &c. / Fair Peggy first to'th Mill with Grist was sent, / Who pleas'd return'd, but would not tell th'event; / Which Betty once perceiving, needs would go, / Who sped in the same Tune, returned too; At which the Mother knew not what to guess, But did her self in admiration bless. / Till Jenny, of the Three the Youngest Lass, / Would needs go see how all this came to pass, / Returns the same; then forth the Mother set, Who finds the Plot, but ne'r Discover'd it.
