Σελίδα 8 - Give me my robe, put on my crown ; I have Immortal longings in me : now no more The juice of Egypt's grape shall moist this lip : Yare, yare, good Iras ; quick.
Σελίδα 8 - With thy sharp teeth this knot intrinsicate Of life at once untie: poor venomous fool, Be angry, and dispatch.
Σελίδα 9 - It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's When mercy seasons justice.

Σελίδα 7 - Kiss him once for somebody's sake, Murmur a prayer soft and low ; One bright curl from its fair mates take, They were somebody's pride, you know. Somebody's...
Σελίδα 5 - She's somebody's mother, boys, you know, For all she's aged and poor and slow. And I hope some fellow will lend a hand To help my mother, you understand, If ever she's poor and old and gray, When her own dear boy is far away.
Σελίδα 6 - There's fennel for you, and columbines: — there's rue for you; and here's some for me : — we may call it, herb of grace o' Sundays : — you may wear your rue with a difference — There's a daisy: — I would give you some violets ; but they withered all, when my father died : — They say, he made a good end, For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy, — [Sings.
