The little Couple.

⁠THERE was a little man,
⁠And he woo’d a little maid,
And he said, little maid will you wed wed wed,
⁠I have little more to say,
⁠Say me either yea or nay,
Little said is soonest mended-ded-ded.

⁠The little maid reply’d;
⁠Little Sir, you’ve little said,
To enduce a little maid to wed, wed, wed,
⁠You must say a little more,
⁠And produce a little ore,
Ere I to the church will be led led, led.

⁠The little man reply'd,
⁠If you’ll be my little bride,
I will raise my little rotes a little higher higher higher,
⁠Though I’ve little for to prate,
⁠Yet my little heart is great,
By the little ged of love I’m on fire, fire, fire.

⁠The little maid reply'd,
⁠If I be your little bride,
Pray what will you give me for to eat, eat, eat.

⁠Would the flame that you’re so rich in,
⁠Light a fire into the kitchen,
Or the little god of love turn the spit, spit, spit.

⁠The little man reply’d,
⁠And some said, a little cry’d,
For his little heart was fill'd with sorrow sorrow sorrow,
⁠With the little that I have,
⁠I will be your little slave,
And the rest my little dear, we will borrow bor-
⁠row, borrow,

⁠Thus did the little gent,
⁠Make the little maid relent,
For her little heart began for to beat, beat, beat,
⁠Though his offers were but small,
⁠She accepted of them all,
Now she thanks her little stars for her fate, fate, fate.
