COURTSHIP, by                    
First Line: "I love thee, betty / do'st thou, johnny?"
Last Line: "hey, I wish it was sunday then"


I LOVE thee, Betty,
Do'st thou, Johnny?
Hey, but I wonder where!
In my heart, Betty.
In thy heart, Johnny?
Thou never yet made it appear.

But I'll wed thee, Betty.
Wed me, Johnny?
Hey, but I wonder when!
On Sunday, Betty.
On Sunday, Johnny?
Hey, I wish it was Sunday then.
