1. He is a lecher, and his wedding a lechery,
And after this she has authority over him.

2. How many a son of his, his father unknown,
Yet he tends them with utmost care.

3. He was young and sturdy, now feeble and bent,
Made an old woman of him, a nanny goat.

4. Ask me not of him, he is a friend I guard
And deserves my watchful care.

5. But for propriety I'd tell his match,
Yet my words here suffice, I dare.
