    I like your courage well,
    And you will be promoted,
    For these words you boldly tell."

    "I'll put epaulettes on your shoulder
    And then yu'll be a match,
    For the foremost farmers daughter,
    Coming into the town of Ross."

    To have the couple married,
    The Colonel gave consent
    The parents paid their portion down
    It is now they are content.
