Annotation:An Old Man He Courted Me (3)

"The setting I gave to Dr. Petrie long ago is in Staford/Petrie with my name: but I think the following version better:

An old man he courted me fond and lovingly,

An old man he courted me-believe me if you can,

An old man he courted me-to my sorrow he married me,

So, maids, never while you live wed an old man.
