Why are you marrying off your son so early
Before he arrives at understanding?
“Hm,” said the old father to this
“My plan’s not going to change-
When he arrives at understanding
He won’t get married at all.”
Advice!
When a dowried young lady’s
Reciprocating love you read
Kneel down without shuffling around and beg
“O lady, unite with me”
Exploit love for yourself
Exploit as long as [she’s] favorable
And perhaps she won’t even
Give you her hand for a minute
[But] forge a marriage on the heat
As long as the weather is favorable
Let [her] quietly marry[1] herself
off
But her dowry- that’s a shame!
