Were great temptations I declare;
And then his love was firm and true
But he hadn’t cash enough for two.
So we sighed in silence o’er our fate,
And wisely thought it best to wait—
The other callers too seemed slow,
I’ve often wondered why ’twas so.
I had no wealth, or charms to praise;
But, then, I had such “winning ways,”
That ought to take, and may-be will—
