A vow to honor and obey

was made, a sacred trust to earn

for you the right to hear them pray,

that their great fears you might adjourn.

No solemn word departs your lips

except for when there are no hips;

but, who shall bend an ear for you

or kiss away those beads of dew

that find you in the lonely hour

when you would feign to be at peace,

not seeing that your still caprice

takes all good will and makes it sour.

So, Dear, if you would do no harm,

Do heal yourself and take my arm.
