 We’re admirably match'd,

Then be my Valentine.

Thou lov’st an active life,

I to the same incline;

We both are foes to strife,

Then be my Valentine.

I say that love is free,

Such thought I’m sure is thine;

We ne'er shall disagree,

My charming Valentine.

Now's the time to bill and woo,

Prithee be my Valentine:

All the lovers that are true,

Hymen’s ready to co-join.

Now's the time for love and joy

Will you be my Valentine?

Cupid will the time employ,

And our heart's together twine.

May a youth, without offending,

Take the liberty of sending

Only half a dozen lines ?

I do love thee—oh! agree then
