A new love-song, and a true love-song made [of a young man] and a maiden fair, whose dwelling now is in Northampton-shire : as they one evening late abroad was walking, a young man lay unseen, and heard them talking : to make their complements to seem more sweeter, their words and actions he compos'd in metre : 'twas well they honest prov'd in verity, because Tom-tell-truth chanc'd to be so nigh / To the tune of, Collin and Amarillis.
