The wand'ring young gentlewoman's garland; : in five parts. Part I. How a squire's daughter, near London, was forced from home by her father's cruelty; but thro' her tender mother's care, she was well educated, and clothed in rich apparel: she understanding her father's hatred, made a robe of cat skins, in which she wander'd away carrying her rich apparel and jewels in a bundle. Part II. How one evening she came to a knight's door, she craved a night's lodging in the stable, which was granted her; and next morning she was made scullion to the cook. Part III. How the young 'squire went to a ball, where he saw a beautiful young lady, in rich robes who danc'd to the admiration of all the company which put the young 'squire upon asking her where she lived. Part IV. How the young 'squire seeing her again at the ball, he was resolved to know who she was: shewing in what manner he came to find it was cat-skin that was dress'd in that rich attire: how he fell in love with her, and by feigning himself to be sick and going to bed, he got his parent's consent to let cat-skin be his nurse: likewise giving an account of their marriage. Part V. After the death of her mother and sister, her father (who was very rich) came, dress'd like a beggar, to her gate, craving charity: how she had him into her house, and of his giving her ten thousand pounds for her fortune..
