She. And can you then like the old Rule,
Be Conjugal, honest, and dull,
, And marry, and look like a Fool,
For I must be plain,
All Tricks are in vain,

But moving, and proving,
By Wedding, true Loving,
My lesson I learnt at School.

I've Houses, I've Land,
Estate too in good Free-hold,
My Dear, let us joyn,
It all shall be thine,
Besides a good Purse of Gold.
She. You make me to blush, now I vow,
Oh Lord, shall I too baulk my Cow,
But since the late Oath you have swore,
Your Soul shall not be,
In danger for me,

Of two to make three,
We'll Wed,- and we'll Bed,
There's no more to be said,
And I'll ne'er go a Milking more.
