    I heard two lovers talking and she to him did say:
    "Brennan", you are my darling, My joy and hearts delight
    In spite of friends and parents With you I'll take a flight.
    True love, don't be ueasy Or troubled in your mid,
    Let nothing else dispease you But to rove and sport your time
    For I have gold in store, love, And you I'll not resign,
