AMBLESIDE FAIR, 1845. - ZaunköniG - 27.10.2007 AMBLESIDE FAIR, 1845. What a huge turmoil in a little town ; Swell' d like a cow that has been eating clover ; See thievish Mercury, suspended over Each canopied stall, and eager to pounce down; I see the maid that has not learned to frown From service free, no mistress to reprove her Hangs on the arm of him she deems her lover; God grant he is no worse than honest clown. Among the crowd I see a scarlet coat, That would seduce the lad to other arms Than such as thine on which he seems to doat. Oh, gentle maiden, work with all thy charms ; Let not thy chosen youth make thee the wife Of man whose psalmody is drum and fife. |
