"Maybe they did die of broken hearts in the old days when they used to think that if they didn't get the man they wanted they were ruined forever. Nowadays they have learned that if they don't get one man, they'll get another one?'
1   A rich Irish lady from Ireland came,
A beautiful damsel called Saro by name, Her riches was more than a king could possess, Her beauty was more than her wealth at its best.
2  A lofty young gentleman a-courtin' her came, A-courtin? this damsel called Saro by name, "O Saro, 0 Saro, O Saro," said he,
"I fear that my ruin forever you'll be.
