(By sound
I'm caressed by "sngle ladies'"
am Rugged by little babies,
And the coyest maiden feeds me on her knee,
Yet the same Kind hand that fed me
Without pity will behead me-
Aud place me Ger her golden hair with glee.
When asunder she has tore me
(By removing what's before mel,
She will place me IN hot water with smile;
Then praise me as she drinks me
(And a charming drink she thinks mel,
For she vows sho loves me dearly all the while.
