Make Ready, Fair Lady, To-night
By John Dryden (16311700)(From Sir Martin Marr-all) |
He: | Make ready, fair Lady, to-night; | |
Come down to the door below; | ||
For I will be there | ||
To receive you with care, | ||
And with your true Love you shall go. | 5 | |
She: | And when the Stars twinkle so bright, | |
Then down to the door will I creep; | ||
To my Love I will fly, | ||
E’er the Jealous can spy, | ||
And leave my old Daddy asleep. | 10 | |
