| BE OFF WITH YOU NOW!
Be off with you now! – don’t I know
That it’s only enjoying you are,
With – “checks like the rose’s soft glow,
And glances more bright than the star?”
‘Tis true that my waist is but small,
And my ringlets may curl like the vine;
But I’m not like an angel at all,
Nor am I the least bit divine.
So be off with you now! – don’t I see
Your deluding from eve until dawn?
My step may be bounding and free,
But I’m not the least like a fawn.
But ‘twas ever the method – we know –
Since Adam in Eden began,
That bosoms were sure to be snow! –
And necks were, of course, like the swan!
Come, be off with you now! – till you learn
To woo like a plain hearted youth;
Let your mind, if you love me, discern
To win, you must woo me with truth!
I would rather – instead of these flowers
In which you are ever so rife –
That you promised to love me all hours
As long as each other had life!
