Miserly Maiden

You’ve come to steal my heart?
An ironmonger’s wife
Would ne’er agree to part
With hardened ore and strife.
Am I a single lass?
It must have slipped my mind.
I’m married to this mass
Of molten copper and brass.

It’s fun to polish my rings
(these stones are getting old);
My parrot never sings
(he’s only made of gold).

You’re such a humble man;
You’ll never find a bride.
Had you a dark sedan,
You’d be afraid to ride.
28
A ragged wretch you are;
You’re nothing but a fool.
My reputation I’d mar,
My friends would think me cruel
If I were caught with you.
You say that you’re a thief?
You haven’t come to woo,
Or to bring this lady grief?

Please take this golden chain;
Remove this silver band!
I thought you’d bring me pain;
Instead you take my sand.

I’m glad you’re not a beau;
I hate their lustful smiles.
You’re such an honest crow;
You told me of your wiles.

Most men would steal my heart;
My riches they’d ignore,
But you are much too smart
To take the pyrite ore.

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the written material on your site. But I am employing Firefox on a machine running version 9.04 of Ubuntu and the UI aren’t quite satisfactory. Not a strong deal, I can still essentially read the articles and look for for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of difficult to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the superb work!
