A Courtship: The Wedding Song

Come write me down, ye powers above
The man that first created love
For I've a diamond in my eye
Where all my joys and comforts lie
Where all my joys and comforts lie

“I will give you gold, I will give you pearl
If you could fancy me, dear girl
Rich costly robes that you shall wear
If you could fancy me, my dear
If you could fancy me, my dear”

“'Tis not your gold shall me entice
To leave off pleasures to be a wife
For I don't mean or intend at all
To be at any young man's call
To bе at any young man's call”

“Then go your way you scornful dame
Since you'vе proved false I will prove the same
'Tis I don't seek and I shall find
Some other fair maid to my mind
Some other fair maid to my mind”

“Oh, stay young man, don't be in haste
You seem afraid your time you will waste
Let reason rule your roving mind
And unto you I will prove kind
And unto you I will prove kind”

So to Church they went that very next day
And were married by asking, as I've heard say
And now that girl she is his wife
She will prove his comfort day and night
She will prove his comfort day and night
