And It's no use my being unkind,
For that's not the way, am certain,
To get him to make up his mind.
I've sung him love sonnets 10y dozens,
I've worked linn both slippers ami hose
And we've walked ont 10y moonlight to

You really must ask his intention,
Or some other beau must fimd;
For indeed won't tarry much longer,
For one who can't make up his mind.
