—Holywood, co. Down (Miss C. N. Patterson).
Here’s two dukes come out from Spain,
For to court your daughter Jane;
My daughter Jane is far too young,
She cannot hear your flattering tongue.
Be she young, or be she old,
Her beauty must be sold,
Either for silver or for gold;
So fare you well, my lady fair,
I’ll call again some other day.
—Galloway (J. G. Carter).
Here’s one old Jew, just come from Spain,
To ask alone your daughter Jane.
Our daughter Jane is far too young
To understand your Spanish tongue.
Go away, Coat-green.
