And a very large plum-cake beside;

While she'd think with much dread

She's not properly wed

If aught ill to that cake should betide.

Yea, she has quite a doubt

If a marriage without

Would be legal, if lawyers it tried.

Now Jonas the miller (her uncle) for dower

Had sent her a sack of the best wheaten flour;

So on tarts, puddings, pies, she may work away fast
