The Ha rtford-shire [sic] damosel [sic] in great distress. This country girl is troubled in her mind [microform] : because young-men to her will not be kind, she sighs and sobs, and loudly doth cry, it is for a sweet-heart I surely shall dye; O young men come quickly, this is her song. If you don't ease me, I shall not live long. The tune is, my father gave me house and land.
bb A ballad about a young woman who longs for love.
