NOTES. 439 



6. 



I want but a flow' ret, 



ISo posy want I ; 

 And a kiss now and then too 



Yon must not deny. 



7. 

 Now, don't ye refuse me — 



I've only had two ! 

 Come, give me the third kiss — 



'Tis no good to you. 

 8. 

 And as true as clouds oft dim 



The blue sky above, 

 So as true without jealousy 



Never was love. 



9. 

 And love has a language 



That's everywhere known ; 

 And when that's no more spoken 



The sun will fall down. 

 10. 

 If every star there 



Were but a fair lass, 

 I wish the whole sky then 



Would fall in the grass. 

 11. 

 The Turk and the Russian 



Are nothing to me, 

 If only my N anny 



And I do agree. 

 12. 

 And green is a fir-tree 



Right all the year through : 

 And a love that is happy 



Must be constant too. 

 13. 

 And were there no flowers 



The bees' life were sad ; 

 And were there no lasses 



The lads would go mad.
