By her side I’ll take my place,

As a humble Needle-case; 20

Furnish’d too with dainty thread,

For a Sempstress thorough-bred.

Then let both be kindly treated,

Till the Term, for which She’s fated

Durance to sustain, be over; 25

So will I ensure a Lover

Lady! to your heart’s content;

But on harshness are you bent
