ABSTRACT

His eldest daughter first shall be espowsde, Before he grauntes his yoongest leave to love, And therefore he that meanes to get their loves, Must first provide for her if he will speed, 20 And he that hath her shall be fettred so, As good be wedded to the divell himselfe, For such a skould as she did never live, And till that she be sped none else can speed, Which makes me thinke that all my labours lost, And whosoere can get hir firme good will, A large dowrie he shall be sure to have, For her father is a man of mightie wealth,
