BALLYRONIAN MAID Ye lovers all both great and small, of learning you've had your share, Your genius bright help me to write the praises of a comely fair, Your poet's mind with me combine, assist me and lend your aid, Your voices raise, help me to praise my comely Ballyronan maid. One evening bright by the moonlight I went my darling to see, I being dressed all in my best I thus addressed this comely she, Says I, 'fair maid if you'll consent, we'll join our hands in wedlock state, If you'll prove so kind to ease my mind my comely Ballyronan maid.' She says, 'young man I must refuse as single life I quite enjoy, My heart's content, I pay no rent and marriage do quite deny,' 'Then if you won't marry me and you're sure I cannot you persuade, I'll take my leave no more to see my comely Ballyronan maid.' She says, 'young man I pray be calm, those words I spoke were only in jest, Since I have proved you pure and true, since I have put you to the test, In wedlock bands we'll join our hands, our happiness won't be delayed,' The time is nigh when I'll enjoy my comely Ballyronan maid. filename[ BALLYRON Feb07 |
