| Love without Measure. / OR, The Young-mans Delight, and the Maidens Joy. / This young man woo'd a Damosel fair, / And call'd her his joy and dear, / But she was coy, as Maids will be, / And said he came with flattery. / But he did protest it was not so, / And at last brought her unto his bow: / Now they live in love, in peace, and joy, / And she very fain would have a boy. | |
