Seite 193 - IF all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee and be thy love.

Seite 192 - With coral clasps and amber studs: And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my love.
Seite 158 - O'er flowing cans of flip renew, And drink their sweethearts and their wives, I'll heave a sigh, and think on thee ; And as the ship rolls through the sea, The burden of my song shall be — Blow high, blow low, &c.
