Volume 1 — THE SAD FATE OF MISTRESS PRUE.

Mistress Prue was gay and sweet, And fair as maid could be; From dainty head to twinkling feet, A source of joy was she. But Mistress Prue was hard to please, And full of whims and airs; Her beaux she'd torment, flout, and tease, Unheeding all their prayers. At length one day she loved a swain, And changed her ways at last; But "Mistress Prue" she did remain, For wooing days were past.
