Riddle 2
Original title: A rebus
Fair Bessie promised to bestow
My first upon her lover,
And much I hope that no dark clouds
Around the pair may hover.
Sweet Bessy's age is just eighteen,
Of gold she has my second;
On bearing off the lovely prize
How many beaux have reckoned.
And now my riddle I'll conclude,
And hope you'll not me quiz,
For what I say is very true—
My whole fair Bessy is.
