The poem describes how a girl is
deceived by the appearance of a seemingly sincere man. She eventually succumbs
to his desires for physical intimacy. She does this despite warnings and advice
from others about the possible dangers and consequences of being too trusting
and naive.
She regrets later when she realises
how she has been taken in by his false expressions of yearning for her. The
poem ends with advice given to women; fleeting heartbreaks when relationships
fall apart are better options in comparison to the folly of naivety.
