But not for a lip nor a languishing eye | A |
She's fickle and false and there we agree | B |
For I am as false and as fickle as she | B |
We neither believe what either can say | C |
And neither believing we neither betray | C |

'Tis civil to swear and say things of course | D |
We mean not the taking for better or worse | E |
When present we love when absent agree | B |

The legend of love no couple can find | F |
So easy to part or so equally join'd | G |
