MS. Rawl. D. 398, fol. 242

Very clumsily written, but a better copy than that which is printed in Wit restor’d, 1658, reprinted 1817, vol. i. pp. 210–213, where the stanzas are sometimes wrongly divided, and where there are many mistakes; e.g. for "a lasse" read "alas," and for "shentry men" "shentlemen."
