Classic "first novel ever" or "first romance book ever" quote:

"Sight, to thinke how prettily you began to brabble. 
But now, quoth he, we will change our Chidings to 
Kissings, and it vexeth me that these Cherry Lipps 
should be subject to such a Lobcocke as thy Hus- 
band. "

Love it. This book is a bit hard to follow because of the version of English and the spelling, but overall not a bad beginning to written stories.

This will put you right to sleep.
The language is TOUGH.

It seems like it could be very witty & a good story if you could get past the langage - I just couldn’t.
