Fast-fancied to the Keeper’s bonny lass.
Fast-fancied is an Elizabethan expression meaning bound by love.
The Elizabethan Fair, and all such traditional occasions for barter, commercial interchange, and public gossip were also and always an opportunity for amorous interludes. This is the view expressed in Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay, by Robert Greene (c. 1560–1592). Margaret, the fair maid of Fressingfield, enters:
Margaret: Thomas, maids when they come to see the fair
Count not to make a cope for dearth of hay;
When we have turn’d our butter to the salt,
And set our cheese safely upon the racks,
Then let our fathers price it as they please.
We country sluts of merry Fressingfield
