[Have a care, gay, young, and wanton]

Have a care, gay, young, and wanton,
Give no ground, for love to plant on;
Guard against the fair deceiver,
See and hear, but don't believe her:
Or, if nothing seems unjuster,
Than to love, and yet distrust her:
On your side to turn the laughter,
Try her, first, and trust her, after.
