   WHEN I was one-and-twenty
   I heard a wise man say,
   ‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas
   But not your heart away;

   Give pearls away and rubies 5
   But keep your fancy free.’
   But I was one-and-twenty,
   No use to talk to me.

   When I was one-and-twenty
   I heard him say again, 10
   ‘The heart out of the bosom
   Was never given in vain;
   ’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
   And sold for endless rue.’
   And I am two-and-twenty, 15
   And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.
