The western garland; or, Sweet William of Plymouth. Shewing, How a young Sailor of Plymouth courted the beautiful Daughter of a Fisherman, whose Love he gained, and also the Consent of her Parents to be married to her; but she falling sick and he being obliged to go Sea, the Wedding was prevented. - How in the Absence of her Lover she recovered, and was courted by a wealthy Farmer and a 'squire, both of whom she slighted, for which reason her parents sent her to Holland to wait on a Lady, resolving that she should wed the 'squire. - How in the mean time her Lover returned to Plymouth, and, enquiring after her, was told by her Parents that she was dead, upon which he took another Voyage, in which, by a Storm, the Ship was cast upon the Coast of Holland, and while they were refitting it he went to the Hague where he met with his beloved Susan. - How he brought her back to Plymouth, and married her, with what passed at the Wedding.
