• General Notes

  [Sarah Hnkle #1.FTW]
  The Fair concubine of Robert Harcourt ,Auther unknown
  A Harcourt heir of Ranton Hall
  Was Robert , tall and strong ,
  Who swore he'd call Cassandra Cook
  His own before Long
  -------------------------------
  His father callously replied ,
  A lady he must wed ,
  on no account Cassender Cook
  Should share his bed.
  -----------------------------
  Descendant too of fifty kings ,
  He should have more pride ,
  That humble wench Cassender Cook
  Was a cowman's bride
  ----------------------------
  Accordingly , he made his son
  A Squire's daughter take ,
  Compared with sweet Cassender Cook
  A skinny sour-faced rake
  ----------------------------
  Small wonder that our victim soon ,
  His vixon wife forsook ,
  and had nine bonny boys and girls
  by fair Cassender Cook
