Married and woo’d an’ a’:
They are perilous things, pen and ink,
To get woo’d and married an’ a’.
I ought now to tell the unwary,
That into the noose they’ll be led,
By giving a promise to marry,
And acting as if they were wed.
But if, when the promise you’re plighting,
To keep it you think you’d be loath,—
Just see that it isn’t in writing,
