The Roxburghe ballads . t is not amiss. 32 The bonny young Maid was nothing afraid;But modestly blushing, unto him she said: Since you are so free,If you will be constant, we two may agree.

Then did they retire, with longing desire ;Expecting, and waiting for quenching loves fire : And now lives most free,Although a Quick Bargain was made, as you see. 48 [London : Printed for Philip Brooksby.][In Black-letter.
