It is true That the girl I’m to marry is homely ; But she’ll do Just as well as if charming and comely ; Though her face Is covered with paint and with powder j And no trace Of beauty has Venus allowed her. And her teeth Are as false as the love I give her, And beneath On her chin has a beard ever with her, And her hair , Had belonged to another before her, Yet I swear That I never shall cease to adore her. Though one eye She can easily take from its socket, Still I’m fly, And her cash will just suit my pocket. She will grant In time that I’m sweeter than honey, All I want Is her fondest affection and—money.
