Men are brought up to other trades,
But this is our vocation.
Oh, not for sense or love, ask we;
We ask not to be courted,
Our watch-word is to married be,
That we may be supported.
Chorus.—Press onward, do not feah, sistehs, &c.
Say not, you’re strong and love to work;
Are healthier than your brotheh,
Who for a blacksmith is designed;
