Shewing how an apprentice made bold to court his masters daughter, got her good will, and married her unknown to her parents, yet afterwards her father seeing they loved each other so intirely, he gave them a considerable portion of money to set up with, and now they live in a happy condition; this may serve for a pattern for others. Their complements to you I will rehearse according as they are printed down in verse. Tune of, Ami[n]tas on the new-made hay, or Loyal lovers
