COQUETRY. 
The heart to me once promised, 
If not for me alone, 
Oh give to him more favored 
Who claims it for his own 
Go thou, by truth invited, 
My heart less grief shall prove, 
To know its passion slighted 
Than share thy faithless love. 
A. JYTMakin. 
I know a maiden fair to see, 
Take care ! 
She can both false and friendly be, 
Beware! Beware! 
Trust her not, 
She is fooling thee ! 
Longfellow.
