Make no more pretence to me—

For you love me, I’m afraid!”

“Drive your plough ahead, and go;

Underneath it thistles grow.

You are reckless, young, and wild—

She is mad would wed you so!”

“Near your house a field I’ll sow

And I’ll stone the ill-starred crow.

When I have the girl I love

I’ll let all my folly go.”
