A Fair of Love we kept a while. Gave me two smiles; and for each smile, The violet made haste to appear, With first primrose that grew this year, To me, Gave She, Her golden lock for mine. For her bracelet, I gave my Valentine! Subscribed with a line of love, As shall, this year, thy truth appear; On us, Each other's favours shine; 'No more have we To change!' quoth She, 'Now, farewell, Valentine!' Alas,' said I, 'let friends not seem Who truth of Maiden's mind will know, She blushed! I wished Her heart as free as mine. Too wanton, Valentine!' Yet I such further favour won, She vowed, What now was left undone, And though perplexed with such delay, 'Twixt present grief, and promised joy, If She To me, Preserve her vows divine, And constant troth; She shall be both My Love and Valentine!
