A warning for married Women By the Example of Mrs. Jane Renalds a West-Country Woman born neer unto Plymouth who having plighted her troth to a Seaman was afterwards Married to a Carpenter and at last carried away by a Spirit the manner how shall be presently recited To a gallant West-country tune cal'd The fair maid of Bristol Or Bateman or John True THere dwelt a fair Maid in the West of worthy birth and Fame Néer unto Plimouth stately Town Jane Renalds was her name This Damsel déerly was beloved by many a proper Youth And what of her is to be said is known for very truth Amongst the rest a Sea-man brave unto her a wooing came A comely proper Youth was he Iame Harris was his name This Maid and Youngman were well agréed as time did them allow And to each other secretly they made a solemn vow That they would ever faithful be whilst Heaven afforded life He was to be her Husband kind and she his loving Wife A day appointed was also when they were to be married But before these things were brought to pass matters were strangely carried All you that fatal Lovers be give ear and hearken well And what of them became at last I will directly tell The Young-man he was Prest to Sea and forc'd he was to go His Swéet-heart she must stay behind whether she would or no And after she was from him gone she thrée long years for him stayed Expecting of his coming home again and kept her self a Maid At last came news that he was dead within a Foreign Land And how that he was buried she well did understand For whose swéet sake the Maiden she lamented many a day And never was she known at all the wanton for to play A Carpenter that lived hard by when he heard of the same Like as the other had done before to her a Wooing came But when that he had gain'd her love they married were with spéed And four years space being man wife they lovingly agréed Thrée pretty Children in that time this loving Couple had Which made their Father heart rejoyce and Mother wondrous glad BUt as occasion serv'd one time the Good-man took his way Some thrée days journy from his home intending for to stay But whilst that he was gone away a Spirit in the night Came to the window of the house and did her sorely fright Which Spirit spake like to a man and unto her did say My dear and only love quoth he prepare and come away Jame Harris is my name quoth he whom thou didst love so dear And I have travelled for thy sake at least this long seven year And now I am returned again to take thée to my wife And thou with me shall go to Sea to end all further strife O tempt me not swéet James she said with thée away to go If I should leave my Children small alas what should they do My Husband is a Carpenter and a Carpenter of great fame I would not for five hundred pounds that he should know the same I might have had a Kings Daughter and she would have married with me But I forsook her golden crown and all for love of thée Therefore if thou wilt thy husband for sake and thy chlldren thrée also I will forgive all that is past if thou with me wilt go If I forsake my Husband and my little Children thrée What means hast thou to bring me too if I should go with thée I have seven Ships upon the Sea when they are come to Land Both Marriners and Merchandize shall be at thy command The Ship wherein my Love shall sail so glorious to behold The Sails shall be of finest Silk and the Masts of shining Gold When he had told her these fair tales To love him she began Because he was in humane shape she thought he had bin a man And so together away they went from off the English shore And since that time the woman kind was never heard of more But when her Husband he came home and found his wife was gone And left her swéet pretty Babes within the house alone He beat his brest he tore his hair the tears fell from his eyes And in the open stréets he run with heavy doleful cryes And in this sad distracted case he hang'd himself for woe Upon a trée néer to that place the truth of all is so The Children now are fatherless and left without a guide But yet no doubt but heavenly powers will for them well provide L.
