An easie way to tame a shrew. Or The young plow-man's frollick. He that a shrew would gladly tame, example take here by the same; as in this ditty you may find, fair words doth please a womans mind: and all good wives where e're you be, pray listen well to this ditty; to please you all I know not how, but yet I say, God speed the plow. To a delightful new tune; or, The collier of Croydon had coles to sell.
