The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Oct. 20. A few days ago, as the Prince was riding in the neighbourhood of W-o-, his horse flung a shoe. He alighted near the door of a cottage, where he saw a lad and girl talking together, and sent his servant away with the horse. She was pretty, and attracted his notice; he dropt a courtesy as he came towards her: "Well, my pretty maid, what soft things does Colin say to you this fine morning?" She smiled, and the man colored. "When is the happy day to be?" "I don't know Sir," said the girl. "Father says he wants money, and please your honour," said the lad. "How much (asked the Prince) would satisfy him?" "We have got ten pounds to buy things with, but we want as much more for expenses, and I owe a little money." The Prince was charmed with the girl's beauty and modesty, and after looking at her for some time took her by the hand and said, "If you'll make this good lad happy, I'll give you ten pounds, but I'll have a kiss into the bargain?" and putting his hand into his pocket, he took out ten guineas, and received thanks for it from the lips of the girl herself.
