Young Colin declares for a husband I'm fit,
So he courts me from morning to night,
He talks of the parson the church and the ring,
In praise too of conjugal chat;
On the charms of my person displays all his wit
And I own that it gives me delight,
O this wedlock must snre be an excellent thing,
But I must not get laughing at that.

At length to his wishes were I to comply,
As at length I seem to incline.
But if on his promises I may rely,
Not to check the good humour of thiue;
To church wirh young Coliu I'll soon trip awaw
And answer all questions quite pat,
When I come to the critical word called Obey,
Is, if I should get lauging at that,

FINIS.
