A96215 The VVest-country damosels complaint: or, The faithful lovers last farewel. Being the relation of a young maid who pined her self to death, for the love of a young-man, who after he had notice of it, dyed likewise for grief. : Careless young-men, by this a warning take, how you kind virgins (when they love) forsake; least the same fate o're-take you, and you dye for breach of vows, and infidelity. Be kind, but swear not more than what you mean, least comick jests become a trajeck scean. : To the tune of, Johnny Armstrong. 1680 (1680) Wing W1398; ESTC R228645 1,495 2
