Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEFEGG HIH JJ KLMLNO| I bought a young and lovely bride | A |
| Paying her father gold | B |
| Lamblike she rested by my side | A |
| As cold as ice is cold | B |
| No love in her could I awake | C |
| Even for pity's sake | C |
| - | |
| I bought rich books I could not read | D |
| And pictures proud and rare | E |
| Reproachfully they seemed to plead | F |
| And hunger for my care | E |
| But to their beauty I was blind | G |
| Even as is a hind | G |
| - | |
| The bearded merchants heard my cry | H |
| 'I'll give all I posses | I |
| If only only I can buy | H |
| A little happiness ' | - |
| Alas I sought without avail | J |
| They had not that for sale | J |
| - | |
| I gave my riches to the poor | K |
| And dared the desert lone | L |
| Now of God's heaven I am sure | M |
| Though I am rag and bone | L |
| Aye richer than the Aga Khan | N |
| At last a happy man | O |
