The loyal maids good counsel to all her fellow-maids : to be careful of wanton young men, they'll promise they love you again and again : But if they get theirwill of you before you are wed You may look a new sweetheart and a new maiden-head : And believe no false youngmen that will dissemble and lye, Lest they send you away with salt tears in your eye / To the tune of, Come hither my own sweet duck ; This may be printed, R.P.
