    You maidens fair pray lend an ear,
    And hark to my advice,
    When that you meet a lad too nice,
    Least you like me more bitterly,
    Your folly may deplore,
    As I must do a lass is true,

    He once did me respect,
    But like a fool, I acted cool,
    And now he wont comply and,
    Now repent and do lement,

    And now he's gone and wed with one,
    A maid both mild and meek,
    A lovely maid I cant degrade,
    Sweet Fanny of Dunleek,
    May fortune guard and her reward,
