The politick maids device; or The maidens distrust in Cupid's play. : Here counsel is to all the rest, of maidens fair, to chuse the best; and let the worst of young-men stay a while, they are apt young maidens to beguile: but if maidens will be rul'd by she, she'l fit them in their own degree: and make them spend their breath and strength, he should be an honest man that gain'd a wench. The tune is, What shall a young-woman do with an old-man, or Digby's farewell.
