And then the sage St. Lawrence did say:
"Look here, my friend, here is our way!
I'll make my will of my estate
(And that, you know, is very great,)
"Unto your fair and lovely child,
If she refrains from being wild,
And when she weds she weds my son,
My noble, brave and kind Trueman.
"Then you, my friend, reciprocate;
You make your will of this same date,
And seal as I do mine;
Make True, my son, your legatee,
"And to him give, in simple fee,
Your lands, your goods, your kine, your cash,
All in one grand and mighty crash,
If he your daughter weds."
The witnesses were duly called;
The wills were then prepared;
The testators did sign their names,
The children they well fared.
