Madam, I tell you I do love you dearly W:And above all things your company I requite W:But before I do leave you, I must tell you plainly W:I must forsake your sweet company quite W:For when a man's wed, his joys are all fled W:He's bound from liberty, tied to all slavery W:So I've a mind to go free & not wed" W: W:Then she wrote to her true love a charming rich letter W:To come to her wedding on the 19th of June W:And that he might do instead of a better W:To wait at the table all on the bridegroom.
