Whining—pining—sighing:

"Ah!" cries one, "what shall I do?

Mary dear, I'm dying!"

T' other vow'd him just the same—

Dead in grief's vagary;

But sighs could never raise a flame

In the heart of Mary.

A youth there came, all blithe and gay—

Merry—laughing—singing—

Sporting—courting, all the day—
