Then I'll not be Married yet, yet, yet,
And I'll not be Married yet, yet, yet.

If I should Marry a Maid that is Fair,
With her round cherry Cheeks and her flaxen Hair,
Many close Meetings I must forbear,
And I'll, _&c._

If I should Marry a Maid that is Foul,
The best of my Pleasure will be but a Scoul.

Or else fool-hardy keep in good rule,
