A young waiting maid that stranged must he
For nothing but striking Turkish lady.
To think of her dying, with dread she was hlled,
With rivers oftears, like water distilled,
Like streams from fountain from her ewes run down
Hsrred, rosy cheeks and thence to the ground
Then hearing her crime he, TO quiet the strife,
Said what mustI give for this young creatures life:
The answer returned one hundred pound,
Then which for her pardon he freely laid down.
Said he, farest creature thy weeping refrain
And be of good comfort, you shall not be slain:
Behold have purchased thy PARDON. Wilt thee
Be willing to 60 TO fair England with me;
She CRIED Sir thank yOu who freed me from DEATH

And ifyou are willing, 10 England I'll go,
And to you a lasting respect win show

He set up housekeeping and made her his maid
For to wait upon him, and finding her just,
With the keys of his riches did her entrust-
At length this ysung Faetorw hired once more
To cross the proud waves, where pillows do roar,
And on to that country, his to steer,
Which BY this maids father governed hear.
Il being a warm climate, this maid did prepare
To get fine, tight clothing for that eOuntry's

With that he replied win fulfill your mind!
Then quickly he started and to that port,
The Factor, he came to the emperors court
It being the custom and rule of that place
To present some elegant gift to his grace.
His giftwss accepted, and as he stood by,
! On his lowered garment the prince cast an eye,
Which caused him to color, and thus he did say:

And to save her dear life gave hundred pound,
And carried her with me to fair London town.

For the ofmy child, whom thoughthad been killed,
A we'll full of tears IN my court has been spilled;

Eer greanngS drew millions Of tears from my breast.
Thy ship shall be splendid, and loaded with speed,
And III send ship for thy convoy indeed,

Their ship being loaded their anchor they weighed
And he with his convoy over the deep
To fair London city, End home he did go
To give this young princess her tidings to know.

And give all the money to those that are poor,
And let us bejogging with speed on the main,

That thing was done and they soon sailed away
In the ship which her father sent for the convoy
But mark what occurred on the ocean so wide
To deprive the young Factor efhis noble bride.
The captain, who conveyed them over the deep,
One night the Factor then lay in his sleep,
Being under sail, overheard did him throw
Saying, now shall have this young creature knew
There happened to be a smallisland at hand
To which he swan, understand
And there win leave him some time for to meurn
And unto the ship again will return.

Then shortly they came to the destined peri,
This princess went weeping TO her fathers court,
Who gladly received her withjoy and great mirth,
Saying where is the man who freed You from death:
The captain replied, as all lay asleep

Would have her. and hope you'll grant that thing.
Yes, that my promise, the prince he replied;

Said she yes, dear father but first, if you please
For him who first saved me I'll mourn forty days.
Then into close mourning this lady she went,
For the loss of her dear friend in tears lament.
And there will leave her to for awhile,
And turn to the Factor who left the isle.
On the drear, desert island, the factor he lay
In foods of tears weeping, two nights and one day.
Till at length the appeared to his view,
A little old man sailing in a canoe.
The Factor called to him, which caused him to sway
And drawing near TO him he did to him say:
Friend how csmst thou here; and his tears gan flow,
He told him his secrets and where he would go.
The old man said to him, if there thou dost lie,
With griefand with hunger in short time thoult die
What will you give me if TO that I'll thee guide:
have nothing to give thee, the Factor replied
Ifyou viii promise TO be true unto me,
To give unto the first babe that's born thee
when thirty months old to that ri thee bring

The Factor considered that thing yvOald bring grief
And without that for him there could be relief.
He cried life is sweet, and my life for to save,
Convey to that place. and your wish you shall have.
