W:When I was a bachelor airy and young,
W:    I followed the bachelor's trade,
W:And all the harm that ever I done
W:    Was courting a pretty maid.
W:I courted her for the long summer season,
W:    And part of the winter too,
W:Till at length we were married--myself and my darling,
W:    All over the foggy dew.
