O dear! O dear! My heart it beat so strange-ly,

I felt I

can't tell how: Lord, Lord,' thinks I, 'what ails me? Ah! what's the mat-ter now?'

[merged small][ocr errors][merged small]

By sobs and tears well feign'd,

O dear! O dear! O dear!
The poor good soul was melted,
Not proof against my woe,

And coaxingly consented,
With, what's the matter now?

Alas! those times are over,

And I have had my day: No more a doting lover,

He swears he'll have his way;

To all intreaties callous,
Whole days from me he'll roam;
Get tipsy at the alehouse,
And then come staggering home.
O dear! O dear! O dear!
If then I weep or chide him,
With consequential brow,
He sets his arms beside him,
With, what's the matter now.

Moderato.

HOW SWEET ARE THE MOMENTS.

How sweet are the mo-ments when Fan-ny is nigh me-How sweet 'tis to

gray, And a - way he rode from Taun-ton Dean, To court the Par-son's daughter Jane ;— -Singing

dum ble dum dea - ry, dum - ble dum deary, dum - ble dum dea - ry, dum- ble dum dee.

Then Dick put on his Sunday clothes,
His buckskin breeches, Sunday hose,
Besides a new hat upon his head,
Which was bedeck'd wi' ribbons red.
Dumble dum, &c.
Then on he rode wi'out dread or fear,
Till he came to the house of his sweet dear,
Where he knock'd and shouted and bellow'd hallo!
'Be the folks at home? say yes or no!'
Dumble dum, &c.

A servant quickly let Dick in,
That he his courtship might begin ;
And now he strutted up and down the hall,
And loudly for Miss Jane did call.

[blocks in formation]

'Well, if I consent to be your bride,
Pray, how will you for me provide?'
'I'll give thee all I yarns, I'm sure,
And what can a husband, pray, do more?
Dumble dum, &c.
'O! I can reap, and I can sow,
And I can plough, and I can mow;
And I goes to the market to sell feyther's hay.
And I yarns my ninepence every day!'
Dumble dum, &c.

'O! ninepence a-day will never do,
For I must have silks, and satins too:
Ninepence a-day! it wouldn't buy meat!'
'Adzooks!' cries Dick, get a sack o' wheat!'
Dumble dum, &c.

'Besides, I've a pig pok'd in a sty,
Which comes to me when Granny does die !
And, if you'll consent to marry me now,
I'll feed you as fat as my feyther's old sow!'
Dumble dum, &c.

Dick's compliments were so polite,
That all the company laugh'd outright;
And, when he had gotten no more to say,
He mounted old Dobbin, and gallop'd away.
Dumble dum, &c.

Moderato.

THE FAIRY.

Fair-est of the vir-gin train That trip it o'er the magic plain, Come, and dance and sing with

me, Un-der yon-der a -ged tree; Come, and dance and sing with me, Un-der yon-der aged tree.

There I'll tell you many a tale,
Of mountain, rock, of hill, and dale,
Which will make you laugh with me,
Under yonder aged tree.

See the moon all silver bright,
Shining with a tenfold light,
To try to see my queen with me,
Through the boughs of yonder tree.
Who is that whom I espy,
Just descended from the sky-

E'en, faith! 'tis Cupid, come to see
My fair beneath yon aged tree.

A little rogue! but he shall smart!
I'll take away his bow and dart,
And give them, 'fore his face, to thee,
Under yonder aged tree.

Then we'll play, and dance, and sing,
Celebrating Pan our king;
And I'll always live with thee
Under yonder aged tree.

Vivace.
