"I'll make her happy, if I can,
And now I'll form my little plan:
We must, dear True, just do our best,
And fix her up in a cosy nest.
"We will give her a little home
On the beautiful mountain side;
We will find her a handsome lover
Who'll be proud to call her his bride.
"We will give them all attention
That the best of friends could do;
We will return good for evil,
'Cause my mother taught me so.
"Let us show that true religion
Is the life we ought to live,
And the ways that Christ rejoiced in
Are the ways to which we cleave.
"Oh, my husband, dearest Trueman,
I believe in Sarah reigns
The true principle of goodness—
Let us fan that spark to flames.
