The Assignation

I am glad to find you pretty maiden But should your father share otherwise I have a place of meeting, hidden Lest our young love dies I have found a place of meeting Come my love, but sneak I shall surely be in waiting Your dad not to know, the door’s not to shriek We shall meet in haste Thus, thus and not otherwise Time, we are not to waste Till our freedom grows in size I shall stay for you there, I shall not fail Promise to meet me, in that hollow vale.
