Notes |
Text: UGLIEST of the fair creation, / With carrots for fashion on your head; / Face devoid of animation, / Your lips are blue,
instead of red. / Dried and wilted are your features, / They're charmless for this heart of mine; / And if I'd wed you I would
be sure / To have no rival Valentine.
