O thanks be to the Heaven above,
Now I have gain'd my dearest Love,
Thy words doth me so much revive,
I am the happiest man alive.

Come let us to the Church away,
And married be without delay:
Although our Portions be but small,
True love is better worth then all.

So hand in hand away they vvent,
And had their parents free confent:
The musick then most svveet did Play,
And thus ended their Wedding day.

Young-men and maids in love agree,
And let thes song a pattern be:
The price you knovv it is but small,
A penny a piece, and take them all.

FINIS.
