Willy Boy
"Willy boy, Willy boy, where are you going?
I will go with you, if that I may."
"I'm going to the meadow to see them a-mowing,
I'm going to help them to make the hay."

Good Reader
GOOD reader, if you e'er have seen,
When Phoebus hastens to his pillow,
The mermaids with their tresses green
Dancing upon the western billow;
If you have seen at twilight dim,
When the lone spirit's vesper hymn.
Floats wild along the winding shore,
The fairy train their ringlets weave,
Glancing along the spangled green--
If you have seen all this and more,
God bless me! what a deal you've seen!
