I was sitting beside1
My destined bride, 2
One still sentimental day : 3
“ How I long,” said I, 4
“ But to make you cry, 5
And I’d kiss the bright tears away !”6
Fair Cecily blush’d, 7
Her voice grew hush’d, 8
I thought she would cry to be sure : 9
But she lisp’d to me, 10
Pouting prettily,11
“ Prevention is better than cure !”12
