And to be short, I found my heart
Her mutual love enjoying,
When surprise she brake those ties
Of love an honors tying
My loving dear's well made & fair,
She's affably good natured;
Her dress not mean, her sense is keen,
She's comely & well featured;
Her pride was all that sought my fall
Which was to that directed.
Proud of her art she gained my heart
And hopes that I'm dejected. --

She thought that I for love would die,
But she was quite mistaken;
For if she's cruel, that burning fuel,
Will from my breast be shaken;
My fortun's as all my know
The cause she will not have me;
Therefore my love, if that's your move
Henceforth I do not crave thee. --

One that won't take my word at stake
An Honor to do for them;
But seek & pry for property,
Who faults me to abhor them;
And seek a mate to suit my state
