 Left care it should early embrace me,

Besides that my fortune's low,

Until I grow rich I'll not marry,

said the pretty Maid milking her Cow.

To say you would wait for a fortune,

is a civil way to deny;

And I have got money and cattle

dear love all your wants to supply.

Delay are attended with dangers,

and youth it hath no second spring:

and likewise when beauty is faded,

it never will return again!

A fair maid is ire a ship sailing,

she knows not how far she ll safe go;

For in every blast she's in danger.

you pretty Maid milking your Cow.

An old maid is like old almanack,

useless when once out of date;

If her ware is not sold in the morning,

at noon it goes at a low rate.

The fragrance of May is soon over,

garnish & with beauty you know;

All blooms are consum'd in October,

you pretty Maid milking your Cow.
