| Oh the Earth was made for lovers for damsel and hopeless swain | C |
| For sighing and gentle whispering and unity made of twain | C |
| All things do go a courting in earth or sea or air | D |
| God hath made nothing single but thee in His world so fair | D |
| The bride and then the bridegroom the two and then the one | E |
| Adam and Eve his consort the moon and then the sun | E |
| The life doth prove the precept who obey shall happy be | F |
| Who will not serve the sovereign be hanged on fatal tree | F |
| The high do seek the lowly the great do seek the small | G |
| None cannot find who seeketh on this terrestrial ball | G |
| The bee doth court the flower the flower his suit receives | H |
| And they make merry wedding whose guests are hundred leaves | H |
| The wind doth woo the branches the branches they are won | E |
| And the father fond demandeth the maiden for his son | E |
| The storm doth walk the seashore humming a mournful tune | I |
| The wave with eye so pensive looketh to see the moon | I |
| Their spirits meet together they make their solemn vows | J |
| No more he singeth mournful her sadness she doth lose | K |
| The worm doth woo the mortal death claims a living bride | L |

| Now to the application to the reading of the roll | N |
| To bringing thee to justice and marshalling thy soul | N |
| Thou art a human solo a being cold and lone | O |
| Wilt have no kind companion thou reap'st what thou hast sown | O |
| Hast never silent hours and minutes all too long | P |
| And a deal of sad reflection and wailing instead of song | P |
| There's Sarah and Eliza and Emeline so fair | D |
| And Harriet and Susan and she with curling hair | D |
| Thine eyes are sadly blinded but yet thou mayest see | F |
| Six true and comely maidens sitting upon the tree | F |
| Approach that tree with caution then up it boldly climb | Q |
| And seize the one thou lovest nor care for space or time | Q |
| Then bear her to the greenwood and build for her a bower | R |
| And give her what she asketh jewel or bird or flower | R |
| And bring the fife and trumpet and beat upon the drum | S |
| And bid the world Goodmorrow and go to glory home | T |
