First lines

I, THE man with the red scarf, / Will give thee what I have, this last week's earnings. / Take them, and buy thee a silver ring / And wed me, to ease my yearnings.

For the rest, when thou art wedded / I'll wet my brow for thee / With sweat, I'll enter a house for thy sake, / Thou shalt shut doors on me.
