| The Scornful Maid, and the Constant / Young-Man. / With mocks and taunts she doth him jear, / As in this ditty you may hear; / Yet no denyal he would have, / But still her favour he did crave: / Yet at the last she granted love, / And vowed She would constant prove; / Yet in this Ditty you may find, / It is Money that doth a bargain bind. | ||
