Enjoy thy freedom, while free thou art,
Depend on no man, till thou know'st his heart;
Instinct should tell thee which is false, which true;
Time heals all wounds. Here's my advice for you:
Henceforth give less, exact more for thy due.

A maiden tall with winning ways,
Devoid of affectation;
A face such as the story says
Devoid of affectation;
A face such as the story says
Grows bright with animation;
Rich burnished tresses round it twine
A wealth of golden splendour;
'Neath their long silken lashes shine
Grey eyes, so clear and tender;
Ever may God defend her.
