- (continued from previous page)V
Do the cats love sweet milk, do the fish love freshwater,
The birds love the forest, the mother the daughter, The fire that burns, there's nothing more hotter,
It's really a fact says young Letty Lee.
VI
I often saw young maids picking and choosing.
And many fine offers I saw them refusing,
And by criticizing it's often time losing
It's really a fact says young Letty Lee.
VII
My heart and my soul you freely have gained it,
My love until death you surely obtained it,
Then here is my hand and think it no treason,
To wed such a well learned hero as thee.- Collector
