No! no! I'll never married be, But love, and love and yet be free. A wife can't but of window look. Without a husband's grumbling loud ; Each slip's recorded in a book : I wont submit!

Unmarried, I command at will ; ' And youths press forward to obey : I find them glad and grateful still, And who so prompt to serve as they ? Will lords a bride's desire fill ? No ! no ! I'll never married be. But love, and love and yet be free.
