Could be ruled o'er by none;
When he made up his mind he would have a thing done.
So he still stood his ground,
And the fearful maid found
That she now had a chance of her fate getting bound;
Not just stitched, or bound half,
But quite whole bound with calf.
How she chuckles with joy, as she grins forth a laugh!
As she says the few words which proclaim her the wife
Of as stupid a man as e'er lived out a life!
