DECEMBER'S WOOING
I.
DECEMBER TO MAY
Though I look old, love,
I'm young and bold, love,
When I see you.
I'm young and bold, love,
When I see you.
Fain would I ask, love,
From you some task, love,
To prove this true.
From you some task, love,
To prove this true.
That done, I'd take, love,
In payment's sake, love,
This maid I woo.
In payment's sake, love,
This maid I woo.
II.
MAY TO DECEMBER
Would you, indeed, sir?
Pray take good heed, sir,
To what I say.
Pray take good heed, sir,
To what I say.
This my behest, sir:
Cease to protest, sir,
Your love today.
Cease to protest, sir,
Your love today.
Ne'er will I wed, sir,
Where youth is sped, sir,
So go your way!
Where youth is sped, sir,
So go your way!
