John Dryden (1631–1700). The Poems of John Dryden. 1913.
Songs from the Plays“Make ready fair Lady to night,” from Sir Martin Marr-All
He.Make ready fair Lady to night,
And stand at the Door below,
For I will be there
To receive you with Care,
And to your true Love you shall go.
Then down to the Door will I creep,
To my Love will I flye,
E’er the jealous can spye,
And leave my old daddy asleep.
