_He_
As I to the town was going one day / My Roman lass I met by the way. / Said I, "Young maid, will you share my lot?" / Said she, "Another wife you've got." / "Ah, no!" to my Roman lass I cried, / "No wife have I in the world so wide; / And you my wedded wife shall be, / If you will consent to come with me."
