 I thank your ladyship said he,
 * so pleasently to jest with me:

No, I am in earnest she replied,
 * a match for you I can provide.

Matches enough theres to be had,
 * theres many a one that would be glad

Of such a brisk young youth as you,
 * you will wed and bid the seas adieu.

I know a lady of great estate,
 * that hath got riches to make you great:

With men and maidens at her call,
 * and marriage makes you lord of all.

She is like myself in every degreee,
 * I wish it were the saune sail he:

You have got your wish, take your love,
 * and I will endue you as above.

Twelve thousand pounds, myself besides,
 * If you will quit the ocean wide:

Now this couple to church they went,
 * and married were with sweet content;

And now they live in love as one,
 * I hear they live in Greenwich town.
