| Notes |
Text: Believe me I have too much pride, / E'er to be a Donkey's Bride. / Girls take no pity on YOUR CASE, / But laugh full
in your Asses face: / Tho' some may say that from our sex / Length of years (ears) command respect, / Yet no respect have
I for you, / So-- my Composing Stick, Adiea!
