(A proposal of marriage, with a provisional acceptance)

    (He)  Oh Miss Lizie, how I loves you!
          My life's jes los' if you hain't true.
          If you loves me lak I loves you,
          No knife cain't cut our love in two.
    (She) Grapevine warp, an' cornstalk fillin';
          I'll marry you if mammy an' daddy's willin'.
    (He)  Rabbit hop an' long dog trot!
          Let's git married if dey say "not."
