The Lancashire-lovers: or, the merry wooing of Thomas and Betty Thomas to pritty Betty went a wooing, and with this virgin fain he would be doing; she blushes, then she smiles, and crys pish fie, and with half smiles, half frowns, put his hand by; at length by gentle dalliance, the maid is over-power'd, and is under-laid. Loves pleasures having tasted, with a faint breath Thomas, she says, I am thine unto the death: now Thomas to the seas must go, Betty in a man's apparel goes also: Thomas was by a cannon bullet slain, but Betty safely did return again. To the tune, Loves tide: or, At home would I be in my own country
