| With prattlings and with vain ado | B |
| Your worthy and industrious mother | A |
| Eschewing them that come to woo | B |

| Oh that the awful truth might quicken | C |
| This stern conviction to your breast | D |

| And fix your thoughts whilst yet there's time | F |
| Upon the righteousness of marriage | E |
| With some such godly man as I'm | F |
