YLVIA, sweet as morning air,

Do not drive me to despair:

Long have I sighed in vain,

Now I am come again:

Will you be mine or no, no-a-no,—

Will you be mine or no?

[blocks in formation]

For of your courting you'll reap no fruit.

I would rather give a crown

Than be married to a clown;

Go for a booby, go, no-a-no,-
Go, for a booby, go.

HERE was a little boy and a little girl

TH

Lived in an alley;

Says the little boy to the little girl,

"Shall I, oh! shall I?"

[blocks in formation]

Says the little girl to the little boy,
"What shall we do?"

Says the little boy to the little girl,
"I will kiss you."

WH

HEN I was a bachelor I lived by myself, And all the meat I got I put upon a shelf; The rats and the mice did lead me such a life That I went to London to get myself a wife.

The streets were so broad and the lanes were so

narrow,

I could not get my wife home without a wheel

barrow;

The wheelbarrow broke, my wife got a fall,

Down tumbled wheelbarrow, little wife, and all.

Sir, I'll not accept of the keys of Canterbury,

To set all the bells ringing when we shall be

merry;

Neither will I walk abroad with thee,

Neither will I talk with thee!

One made in London, the other made in York, If you will but walk with me, &c.

Sir, I'll not accept, &c.
