LORD ROLAND. LORD ROLAND rose, and went to mass, I'll deck with gems my bonnet's loop, And when lorn lovers sit and droop, Why, I will sit and dine; Sing merrily, sing merrily! And fill the cup of wine. Though Elgitha be thus untrue, Adèle is beauteous yet; And he that's baffled by the blue So welcome, welcome, hall or heath! So welcome, shower or shine! And wither there, thou willow wreath, Thou never shalt be mine ; Sing merrily, sing merrily! And fill the cup of wine. Proud Elgitha! a health to thee, VOL. II.-23 And store of lovers after me, (1824.) YES OR NO. I. THE Baron de Vaux hath a valiant crest, My Lady is fair and free; The Baron is full of mirth and jest, My Lady is full of glee; But their path, we know, is a path of woe, And many the reason guess, The Baron will ever mutter "No," When my Lady whispers "Yes.' II. The Baron will pass the wine-cup round,My Lady forth will roam; The Baron will out with horse and hound,My Lady sits at home; The Baron will go to draw the bow, And the Baron will ever mutter "No," III. The Baron hath ears for a lovely lay, The Baron is blind to a beauteous day, And the Baron will ever mutter "No," IV. Now saddle my steed, and helm my head, Be ready in the porch; Stout Guy, with a ladder of silken thread, The wind may blow, the torrent flow, I never can near the Baron's "No," (1827.) TELL HIM I LOVE HIM YET. I. TELL him I love him yet, As in that joyous time; Tell him I ne'er forget, Though memory now be crime; Tell him, when sad moonlight Is over earth and sea, I dream of him by night, He must not dream of me! II. Tell him to go where Fame By deeds on land and wave; May not be shared with me. III. Tell him to smile again In Pleasure's dazzling throng, To wear another's chain, To praise another's song; Before the loveliest there I'd have him bend his knee, IV. And tell him, day by day, Although I pray for him; (JULY 20, 1829.) WHERE IS MISS MYRTLE ? AIR-"Sweet Kitty Clover." I. WHERE is Miss Myrtle? can any one tell? She flies to the window when Arundel rings, |
