Quick, call yc gray-haired friar in
From out his gioomy cell,
To tie these two young true-loves tight!
Ring out, yc marriage bell t
Ring " jingle-jatigle jangle jing !”
Ring “ fol-de-riddle-lay ! "
Bold Sam-u-el has won his bride
For ever and a day!
Go, bid ye foolish father
To Ibrget his angry pride,
Accept his new-made son-in-law,
And bless ye bonnie bride.

O The earth lies calm in the fair moonlight;
FEN thy lattice, (!) lady bright!

Gaze on the glint of each glancing star,
And list to the notes of my soft guitar.

'Twas the lady’s head with a night-cap on.

See! at the casement appearing now,
With lily fingers she hides her brow.
Ohr weep not—though bitter thy sorrows are,
I will soothe them to rest with my soft guitar.

Then the lady answered, “ Who's going to weep?
Go Svay with your fiddle, and let me sleep”
