XIV + 

Old people’s simple conversations + 

My unpretending page shall fill, + 

Their offspring’s innocent flirtations + 

By the old lime-tree or the rill, + 

Their Jealousy and separation + 

And tears of reconciliation: + 

Fresh cause of quarrel then I’ll find, + 

But finally in wedlock bind. + 

The passionate speeches I’ll repeat, + 

Accents of rapture or despair + 

I uttered to my lady fair + 

Long ago, prostrate at her feet. + 

Then they came easily enow, + 

My tongue is somewhat rusty now. + 
