“ Though the ioyes of the night in good drinking be past,
The debauch but untill the next morning doth last;
But loves great debauch is more lasting and strong,
For that often lasts a man all his life long. ”

“ But I in my heart thought Jockie more prittie.
For when he view'd me,
Woo'd me,
Su'd me,
Never was lad more like to have won me.
Fie,
I cry,
Did almost die,
Least Jockie should gang, and come noe more to me. ”
