The Devonshire damsels frollick : being an account of nine or ten fair maidens, who went one evening lately, to wash themselves in a pleasant river, where they were discovered by several young men being their familiar acquaintances who took away their gowns and petticoats, with their smocks and wine with good chear; leaving them a while in a most melancholly condition. To a pleasant new play-house tune: or, Where's my shepherd? This may be printed. R. P.
