Astrophel and Stella

...blessed me
To her, where I my heart, safe-left, shall meet;
My Muse and I must you of dutie greet
With thankes and wishes, wishing thankfully.
Be you still faire, honord by publicke heede;
By no encroachment wrong'd, nor time forgot;
Nor blam'd for bloud, nor sham'd for sinfull deed;
And that you know I enuy you no lot
Of highest wish, I wish you so much bliss,
Hundreds of yeares you Stellaes feet may kisse.

Shes All My Fancy Painted Him

...She's all my fancy painted him 
(I make no idle boast); 
If he or you had lost a limb, 
Which would have suffered most? 

He said that you had been to her, 
And seen me here before; 
But, in another character,

Of all that thronged the street:

For blissful Causes -- Most of all
That Heaven permit so meek as her --
To such a Fate -- to Minister....Read more of this...

Combing her long hair 
Silently and graciously, 
With many a pretty air. 

The sun is in the willow leaves 
And on the dappled grass, 
And still she's combing her long hair 
Before the looking-glass. 

I pray you, cease to comb out, 
Comb out your long hair, 
For I have heard of witchery 
Under a pretty air, 

That makes as one thi...Read more of this...

The Liner Shes a Lady

...The Liner she's a lady, an' she never looks nor 'eeds --
The Man-o'-War's 'er 'usband, an' 'e gives 'er all she needs;
But, oh, the little cargo-boats, that sail the wet seas roun',
They're just the same as you an' me a-plyin' up an' down!

 Plyin' up an' down, Jenny, 'angin' round the Yard,
 All the way by Fratton tram down to Portsmouth 'Ard;
 Anythin' f...Read more of this...
