| The Master-piece of Love-songs: / A Dialogue betwixt a bold KEEPER and a LADY gay, / He woo'd his LORD's Daught[e]r, and carried the day; / But soon after Marriage was forc'd for to fight, / With his Lord and six Gentlemen, for his own Right; / He cut them, and hew'd them, and paid them w[i]th blows, / And made them his Friends, that before were his Foes. | |
