Don't wait for me, pray.

You know, love, how swiftly short hours pursue;

So sleep on quite comfortably, darling, pray do,

I'm home before day."

Now, girls, these faint facts in time you may know,

And moan that in youth you did not bestow

More note on these lines, in sympathy penned

To advise you; and oh, you will need a friend!

For I know you will marry.

In confidence, listen: To market ne'er go,
