For though I am a poisonous worm,

No hurt I’ll do to thee.

Oh! quit thy sword, and bend thy bow

And give me kisses three;

If I’m not won, e’er the sun go down,

Won I shall never be.

He quitted his sword and bent his bow,

He gave her kisses three;

She crept into a hole a worm,

But out stept a lady.
