Another like that.
Of young, and old, both sexes late, a crewwere bound from England old, to Engl: new:
And staying long at Yarmouth there together,
Expecting Ships for passage, winde and weather,
A Brother came to Howgraves wife, and kist her,
And told her sad newes of a new falne sister,
Falne (quoth she) from the Word? I hope not that,
And let her fall then, to no matter what:
Ah no, shee's fowly got with childe (quoth he)
Now out upon her, pray by whom (quoth she)
'Twas by a faithfull Brother he replide,
Well, well, quoth she, we all have gone aside;
If 'twere a Brothers, deed she could not shun it,
But 'thad been naught, had one of th'wicked done it.
