Love's Drollery by Anonymous |
I love thee for thy fickleness
...And great inconstancy,
For hadst thou been a constant lass
...Then thou hadst ne'er loved me.
I love thee for thy wantonness
...And for thy drollery,
For if thou hadst not loved to sport
...Then thou hadst ne'er loved me.
I love thee for thy poverty
...And for thy want of coin,
For if thou hadst been worth a groat
...Then thou hadst ne'er been mine.
I love thee for thy ugliness
...And for thy foolery,
For if thou hadst been fair and wise
...Then thou hadst ne'er loved me.
Then let me have thy heart a while
...And thou shalt have my money,
I'll part with all the wealth I have
T'enjoy a lass so bonny.
