Is prudent, good and wise:
But, Harry, don't you think with me
She's rather too precise2
She said must not fall in love-
"Propriety forbid | -
And told her should never
Love you better than I did
She did not think you would
told her I'd be up in arms
Against you if you should.
She said you must not kiss me
The first time should you try
And told her that you shouldn't
But did not tell her why.
She said that suitor never yet
Had ever pressed her hand

Very hard to understand.
As for marrying, she knew
She'd die before she'd wed
And told her that I did not doubt
