    To prove your overthrow.
    Fair maiden as I'm a novice
    In those natural engagements
    Existing since creation
    Between youths of our source
    I will avoid all flattery
    Or any misdemeenour
    For love is operating
    And I'm longing for sport
    She sighed and cast a glance at me
    And next moment she was gone from me
    She muttered out, "its vanity"
    Ye all lead one course".
    What a pity, gentle readers (listeners).
    That she was not more fond of me
    And now that I'm forsaken
    I mean to sing no more.
    End.
