| The Hartford-shire Damosel in great Distress. / This Country Girl is troubled in her mind, / Because young-men to her will not be kind, / She sighs and sobs, and loudly doth cry, / It is for a Sweet-heart I surely shall dye; / O young men come quickly, this is her song; / If you don't ease me, I shall not live long. | |
