 For such a man cannot deceive—

A worthy Valentine.

Every day I think on thee,

Every night my love I see,

Thoughts and dreams so well agree,

I sure may say,

They’re indeed a happy sign,

That my love shall soon be mine,

And I shall be her Valentine,

Auspicious day !

I know that you are

So kind to a tar,

You’ll never keep love under hatches

Then will you be mine,

My dear Valentine ?

Say, Yes, and by Neptune a match ’tis.

I hope I may ffndfind [sic]

A calm to my mind,

And Valentine’s day be fine weather;

I’m hardy and free,

So, if you agree,

To Hymen we’ll steer both together.

Then how blows the wind?
