OLD DORSET SONGS. 



She. I'll not accept the keys of the little chest 

 And all that within is now possesst ; 

 I'll not be your love and your only dear, 

 And go walking with you anywhere. 



He. I'll give you the very keys of my heart 

 To bind us together till death us do part, 

 If you'll be my love and my only dear, 

 And go walking with me anywhere. 



She. I will accept the keys of your heart 



To bind us together till death us do part ; 

 I will be your love and your only dear, 

 And go walking with you anywhere. 



THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. 



As sung in Dorset in 1809. 



God save great George our King, 

 Long live our noble King, 



God save the King. 

 May he defend our laws, 

 And ever give us cause, 

 To sing with heart and voice 



Long live the King. 



From every latent foe, 

 From the assassin's blow, 



God save the King. 

 O'er him Thine arm extend, 

 For Britain's sake defend 

 Our father, prince, and friend ; 



God shield the King.
