The country-mans delight: or, The happy wooing. : Being the successful loves of John the serivng-man [sic], in his courting of Joan the dairy-maid. John's humble suit Joan does long time withstand, till his known wealth her favour does command; then mustering all her smiles, to him she bends, and to the bargain straight she condescends: now no objection can retard her love, if not of him, she does his wealth approve; so women for base gold their beauty sell, to whom so e're bids most, that cursed spell, fix'd deep into their souls, commands them still, and guider [sic] the reins of their tempestous will. To a new play-house tune: Dolly and Molly.
