And when that horrid bore, the bill,

Is call'd for, read, and paid,

I cry, "I hope, give what you will,

You'll not forget the chambermaid."

Thus happy might I pass my life,

But love rules in my breast,

And till I'm made a happy wife,

I ne'er shall be at rest.

Then Fortune's gifts in vain she sheds,

For love I leave my trade;
