To heare my Doggs, for a new Maidenhead, I.

And steame of Brick hills almost stifled me;
This Aire is pure and all my owne.

Meanes shee would have you gett another heire,
Sir, for your lands; though it be against my Master
The young Captaine, yet she speakes but reason.
And now I talke o'th Captaine, Sir,
Would you had given him Counsell.
