youth,
And he was an esquire's son;
lie loved the bailiff's daughter dear
That lived in lslington.
She was coy, and she would not believe
That he did love her 30.
No. nor at any time she would
Any countenance to him show.
But when his friends did understand
His fond and foolish mind,
They sent him up TO fair London,
An apprentice for to bind,
And when he had been seven long yeaS1t
And his love he had not seen,

When she little thought Of me-"
All the maids of lslington
Went forth TO sport and play,
All but the bailiff's daughter
She secretly stole away.
She put of her gown OF gray,
And put on her puggish attire.
She's up to fair London gone
Her true love to require.
As she went along the road,
The weather being hot and dry,
There was she aware of her true love,
At length came riding by.
She stepped to him. as red az my rose,
