Oh ye muses divine,
Combine and lend me your aid
To pen
these few lines,
For I find that my heart is betrayed
By a virgin most pure,
Who
is dearer to me than my life
But from me she is flown,
And is known as the red-haired
man's wife
Oh, a letter I'll send
With a friend down to the seashore
To let
her understand
I'm the man that does her adore
And if she would but leave that
slave
I will fordeit my life
She'd live like a lady
And ne'er be the red-haired
man's wife
I offered a favor
And sealed it with my own hand
She thus answered and
said
"Would you lead me to break the command?
Oh, take it easy
Since Nature can
cause so much strive
I was given away
And will stay as the red-haired man's
wife"
May my life never end
Nor my yearning for passion abate
Till me and my
darling
lie as one 'neath the pleasant tree's shade
With no one to be near us
Save the black bird in the green leaves alone
And the red-haired man in his grave
With
his head 'neath a stone
@love
