1. Lord, when I think what a paltery thing
   Is a glove, or a ring, or a top of a fan to brag of;
   And how much a Noddy will triumph in a busk point,
   Snatch with the tag off, then I say
   Well fare him that hath ever used close play.

2. And when I see what a pitiful grace
   Hath a frown in the face,
   Or a no in the lips of a lady;
   And when I had wist she would be kiss'd
   When she away did go with hey ho I end so,
   Never trust any woman more than you know.
