 sportsman winged by Cupids dart
 Said to the maid he loved, s'Afy deer,
 Your wiles have fast enchained my heart
 With lynx of steel, 'tfs very clear.

 My bittern never ending wee;
 Should my fawn dreaming come to naught-
 think 'twould lay this buffalo,

 I'd gladly, freely diver thee;
 OwIet me all thy burdens bear
 Thy sor-Poss share them all with me.

 To your sea-ducktiye arts prey,
 If you refuse your heart Is tea!,-
 Say vessel wed and name the day"

 ''Thtnk not that would chuck you over,
 Knowing how badger heart has bled,-
 Besides you'll make bsng-up plovsr!"
