-
Wert Thou but ill that I might show theeB
How long a Day I could endureC
Though thine attention stop not on meB
Nor the least signal Me assureC
-
Wert Thou but Stranger in ungracious countryB
And Mine the DoorD
Thou paused at for a passing bountyB
No MoreD
-
Accused wert Thou and Myself TribunalE
Convicted Sentenced Ermine not to MeB
Half the Condition thy Reverse to followF
Just to partake the infamyB
-
The Tenant of the Narrow Cottage wert ThouG
Permit to beB
The Housewife in thy low attendanceH
Contenteth MeB
-
No Service hast Thou I would not achieve itI
To die or liveJ
The first Sweet proved I ere I saw theeB
For Life be LoveK
