Saving Myself

I keep my dress low and my standard high.
You ask, “Is this necessary and why?”
Yes, for a woman of virtue I am,
And one day, I shall be someone’s madam.

I am saving myself for the right one.
Another beside him—there can be none.
My body is only for his eyes to see.
It will be a precious gift to him from me.

I refuse to bring my husband used goods.
Present myself as a chaste bride, I should.
Who wants a package that has been unwrapped
Or a wine bottle already uncapped?

I have determined to remain discreet
Until my companion and I shall meet.
I decline to engage in lovers’ play
Before we celebrate our wedding day.
