3 "I've a ring worth forty shilling; You can have it if you're willing."
4 "I want neither ring nor money;
1 want a man that'll call me honey."
5 "Must I leave with my heart broken? Must I leave without one token?"
6 "I guess your heart is made of paper, And 111 never marry a Quaker."
7 "Hast thou no feeling, to keep me kneeling, My love revealing, day after day?"
8 "O hain't you tired of kneeling, your love
revealing? O stop your squealing, day after day.

your brother. Go home and tell your mother and think no more of me."2
