    Ha, ha, the wooing o't!
    On blithe Yuletide when we were fou,
    Ha, ha, the wooing o't!

    Looked asklent and unco skeigh,
    Gart poor Duncan stand abeigh:
    Ha, ha! the wooing o't!

When all is won that all desire to woo,
The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.

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.

Never wedding, ever wooing,
Still a lovelorn heart pursuing,
Read you not the wrong you're doing

Never wedding, ever wooing,
Still a lovelorn heart pursuing,
Read you not the wrong you're doing
In my cheek's pale hue?
All my life with sorrow strewing;
Wed or cease to woo.

Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes;
But no too humbly, or she will despise

Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes;

Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes:
Disguise even tenderness if thou art wise.

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?"
