Today’s rhyme, Madam, I Come a Courting, was another one that kind of stumped me the only real detail that’s given (beyond a courtship going on) is the implication that since the woman wants a handsome man, the suitor isn’t one. In the end, because of the line about how long flowers last I decided to focus on the garden this was taking place in.

The rhyme seems to accuse the woman of being only interested in beauty… says the man who assumes love can be bought…

Of course I’m sure whoever wrote this would say “what has love got to do with marriage?”
