The Wedding Song

Come write me down ye powers above, The man that first created love, For I’ve a diamond in my eye, |: Wherein all my joys and comforts lie. :| 2. I will give you gold, I will give you pearl If you could fancy me my girl, Rich costly robes that you shall wear, |: If you can fancy me, my dear. :| 3. It’s not your gold shall me entice, To leave off pleasures to be a wife For I don't mean or intend at all |: To be at any young man’s call.:|

4. Then, go your way you scornful dame Since you prove false, I’ll prove the same For I don't care, but I shall find |: Some other fair maid to my mind. :| 5. Oh, stay young man don't be in haste You seem afraid your time will waste, Let reason rule your roving mind |: And unto you I will prove kind. :| 6. So to church they went the very next day And were married by asking as I've heard say So now that girl she is his wife, |: She will prove his comfort day and night. :|

7. So now his trouble and sorrow is past His joy and comfort has come at last, That girl to him always said, "Nay", |: She will prove his comfort night and day. :|
