| Description |

army. The sender rejects the recipient because of the restrictions he would place on his wife and the "regular," or boring
lifestyle it would result in.

| Notes |
Text: My love is a regular man -- / A man with a regular way; / He means to regulate me -- if he can, / When he gets his regular
pay. / But I'll be no regular's wife, / No! no! not for all creation; / For who could enjoy married life, / When bound to
a mere regulation.
