    "And to some friend's house ride
    "Before her parents they do find her.
    "It's then she'll save you from this frown
    "You need not fear their fury
    "This is the law that I maintain
    "Before both judge and jury!"
    "Thank you sir, replied the youth
    "Tis by you I'am befriended:
    "Unto your house I'll bring my bride
    "The moment that this job is ended!
