I, a tender young maid, have been courted by many
Of all sorts and trades as ever was any.
A spruce haberdasher first spake to me fair
But I would have nothing to do with small ware.
cho: My thing is my own, and I'll keep it so still
Yet other young lasses may do as they will.
A sweet scented courtier did give me a kiss,
And promis'd me mouuntains if I would be his,
But I'll not believe him, for it is too true,
Some courtiers do promise much more than they do.
A fine Man of Law did come out of the Strand,
To plead his own case with his fee in his hand;
He made a brave motion but that would not do,
For I did dismiss him and nonsuit him too.
Next came a young fellow, a notable spark,
(With green bag and inkhorn, a Justice's clerk)
He pull'd out his warrant to make all appear,
But I sent him away with a flea in his ear.
A Master of Musick came with an intent,
To give me a lesson on my instrument,
I thank'd him for nohing, but bid him be gone,
For my little fiddle should not be plaid on.
An Usurer came with abundance of cash,
But I had no mind to come under his lash,
He profer'd me jewels, and great store of gold,
But I would not mortgage my little Free-hold.
A blunt Lieutenant surpriz'd my placket,
And fiercely began to rifle and sack it,
I mustered my spirits up and became bold,
And forc'd my Lieutenant to quit his strong hold.
A crafty young bumpkin that was very rich,
And us'd with his bargains to go thro' stitch,
Did tender a sum, but it would not avail,
That I should admit him my tenant in tayl.
A fine dapper taylor, with a yard in his hand
Did profer his service to be at command
He talk'd of a slit I had above knee,
But I'll have no taylors to stitch it for me.
A Gentleman that did talk much of his grounds
His Horses, his Setting-Dogs, and his greyhounds
Put in for a Course, and us'd all his art
But he mist of the Sport, for Puss would not start
A pretty young Squire new come to the town
To empty his Pockets, and so to go down,
Did profer a kindness, but I would have none
The same that he us'd to his mother's maid, Joan.
Now here I could reckon a hundred and more
Besides all the Gamesters recited before
That made their addresses in hopes of a snap
But as young as I was I understood trap.
last cho:
My thing is my own, and I'll keep it so still
Until I be marryed, say men what they will.

I consider myself a metalhead at heart but I can be pretty eclectic in my musical taste. I am currently rediscovering Les Rita Mitsouko <3

I tried listening to that, and although it's not quite my thing, I respect people with eclectic musical tastes.
I'm fairly conversant with metal myself, what genres do you listen to the most?

Good question... I'd say Black Metal. But I'm no purist. I love "classic" bands like Immortal, Darkthrone and Inquisition, but also the more atmospheric/avant-garde stuff. I don't know for you, but I thought Panopticon's Kentucky was brilliant. Bluegrass and BM? Hell yeah! :D That said, I still listen to Power Metal, the cheesy, symphonic kind though... but only in short bursts. Rhapsody (not Of Fire), Luca Turilli's Rhapsody and Forgotten Tales for the most part. What else... this doesn't qualify as purely metal music, but as far as I'm concerned, Pryapisme is frickin' awesome too. ^^
Err... I could probably stay up all night talking about music and blurting out bands I appreciate... but to answer your question, Black Metal (in possibly all its declinations) has been my favorite type of metal music for a couple of years now. I also had a doom and folk metal phase before that. ;)
What I tend to dislike is traditional heavy metal, like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Accept, Black Sabbath... That kind of bands usually doesn't do anything for me.
So there. I'll shut up now and go to bed, or else this will turn into the longuest Steamgifts post ever. :3

I keep meaning to reply to this, haha.
Some very good classics indeed there, what do you think of Darkthrone's more outre work like FOAD?Coming from a punk background myself I adored its cheekiness.
Panopticon, wow, talk about obscure:). I got into them because not only are they adventurous American black metal but they are left anarchist black metal which, coming out of a genre infamous for extreme right-wing views, interested me greatly. And my interest has been rewarded by an epic band.
I got heavily into the whole Cascadian BM movement, bands like Wolves in the Throne Room, etc.
My favorite overall metal band though is still probably Primordial, blackened Celtic folk metal with one of the most amazing vocalists in the genre, imo.
My last.fm is sadly out of date, but according to the last time I was actively scrobbling (Dec.4th, damn!) I listened to Summoning's Dol Guldur album and before that SIG:AR:TYR's Sailing the Seas of Fate album.
As for power metal? Guilty, if one wants to use that term. Always have a soft spot for the classics like Rhapsody(very much in agreement with not including the on Fire late-name change), Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, et al.
One of my favorite records of power/symphonic metal though is of course:Charlemagne:The Omens of Death
