Lady, lovely as thou art

Return, and ere thou dost undress

And lie down in thy nakedness

Repair to thy secret and favourite haunt

And drink the wine as thou art wont!

Hard to uncork and bright to decant.

My merry girl—she drinks—she drinks

Faster she drinks and faster,

My brain reels round as I see her whirl,

She hath turned on her heel with a sudden twirl;—
