Preferr’d, for suppos’d loyaltie,

No less than a king’s officer,

She thought she might the better fare,

And there did tarry all that night,

Before of him she got a sight.

Greatly surprized then was he,

His step-daughter prisoner to see,

Call’d her aside to know the matter,

And gave her both a pass and letter,

For herself, her lad, and Betty Burke,
