Pierce did love fair Petronel Because she sang and dancèd well And gallantly could prank it; He pulled her and he haul’d her And oftentimes he call’d her Primrose pearls prick’d in a blanket.

Simkin said that Sis was fair, And that he meant to love her; He set her on his ambling mare, — All this he did to prove her. When they came home Sis floted cream And poured it through a strainer, But sware that Simkin should have none Because he did disdain her.
