    Perhaps you'll rue when I'm far off when cubit set me free
    I pray take fortune for your guide and come along with me.

    The character I have got from you sir, pleases me full well
    And let my friends say what they will, I'll go please myself
    Its by our good industrious we may lead a happy life
    For I have no objections, kind sir, to be your wife.

    I hope I said no harm or any one offend.
    I'll send for my papers and married be for life
