O Kate my dear Partner through joy and through strife	A
When I look back at Hymen's dear day	B
Not a lovelier bride ever chang'd to a wife	A
Though you're now so old wizen'd and gray	B
	-
Those eyes then were stars shining rulers of fate	C
But as liquid as stars in a pool	D
Though now they're so dim they appear my dear Kate	C
Just like gooseberries boil'd for a fool	D
	-
That brow was like marble so smooth and so fair	E
Though it's wrinkled so crookedly now	F
As if time when those furrows were made by the share	E
Had been tipsy whilst driving his plough	F
	-
Your nose it was such as the sculptors all chose	G
When a Venus demanded their skill	H
Though now it can hardly be reckon'd a nose	G
But a sort of Poll Parroty bill	H
	-
Your mouth it was then quite a bait for the bees	I
Such a nectar there hung on each lip	J
Though now it has taken that lemon like squeeze	I
Not a blue bottle comes for a sip	J
	-
Your chin it was one of Love's favorite haunts	K
From its dimple he could not get loose	L
Though now the neat hand of a barber it wants	M
Or a singe like the breast of a goose	L
	-
How rich were those locks so abundant and full	N
With their ringlets of auburn so deep	O
Though now they look only like frizzles of wool	N
By a bramble torn off from a sheep	O
	-
That neck not a swan could excel it in grace	P
While in whiteness it vied with your arms	Q
Though now a grave 'kerchief you properly place	P
To conceal that scrag end of your charms	Q
	-
Your figure was tall then and perfectly straight	C
Though it now has two twists from upright	R
But bless you still bless you my Partner my Kate	C
Though you be such a perfect old fright	R
