There, each trim lass, that skims the milky store, To the swart tribes their creamy bowls allots ; By night they sip it round the cottage door, While airy minstrels warble jocund notes.
Seite 239 - Sir Thomas Overbury, describing the " faire and happy milkmaid," observes, "thus lives she, and all her care is, that she may die in the spring time, to have store of flowers stucke upon her winding-sheet.
Seite 87 - Come with heavy moaning, And on his grave Let him have Sacrifice of sighs and groaning; Let him have fair flowers enow, White and purple, green and yellow, For him that was of men most true ! Thou sable cloth, sad cover of my joys, I lift thee up, and thus I meet with death.
Seite 83 - I wish you a merry Christmas, And a happy New Year ; A pocket full of money , And a cellar full of beer; And a good fat pig, To serve you all the year.
Seite 205 - At Easter let your clothes be new, Or else be sure you will it rue.
