    Some are soon bagg'd but some reject three dozen.
    'Tis fine to see them scattering refusals
    And wild dismay, o'er every angry cousin
    (Friends of the party) who begin accusals,
    Such as--"Unless Miss (Blank) meant to have chosen
    Poor Frederick, why did she accord perusals
    To his billets? Why waltz with him? Why, I pray,
    Look yes least night, and yet say No to-day?"

'Tis enough--
Who listens once will listen twice;
Her heart be sure is not of ice,

How often in the summer-tide,
His graver business set aside,
His stripling Will, the thoughtful-eyed
As to the pipe of Pan,
Stepped blithesomely with lover's pride
Across the fields to Anne.

Thrice happy's the wooing that's not long adoing.
So much time is saved in the billing and cooing.

She that with poetry is won,
Is but a desk to write upon;
And what men say of her they mean
No more than on the thing they lean.

There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four
which I know not:
The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock;
the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man
with a maid.

Alas! to seize the moment
When the heart inclines to heart,
And press a suit with passion,
Is not a woman's part.
If man come not to gather
The roses where they stand,
They fade among their foliage,
They cannot seek his hand.

Woo the fair one when around
Early birds are singing;
When o'er all the fragrant ground

Woo the fair one when around
Early birds are singing;
When o'er all the fragrant ground
Early herbs are springing:
When the brookside, bank, and grove
All with blossom laden,
Shine with beauty, breathe of love,
Woo the timid maiden.
