Not illustrated. 1867 Excerpt: ...lov'd thin Manvile so much, that still methought, When he wag absent, did present to me The form and feature of that countenance Which I did shrine an idol in my heart: And never could I see a man, niethoiight, That equall'd Manvile in my partial eye. Nor was there any love between us lost, But that I held the same in hiiili regard, t'nti repair of some unto our house, Of whom my Manvile gi-ew thus jealous, As if he took exception I vouehsaf'd To hear them speak, or saw them when they came; On which I straight took order with myself, To avoid the scruple of his conscience, By counterfeiting that I neither saw nor heard: Any ways to rid my hands of them.

Then farewell frost: Well fare a wench that will: Now, Elner, I am thy own, my girl. Finer.
