What beauty she is from the head to the foot:

No business whatever had I, I declare,

But to see the dear creature at Haltwhistle Fair.

I looked about, my dear charmer to see,

I gaz’d at the crowd, and the crowd gaz’d at me;

At length I espy’d her—My dear, are you there?

I’m happy to see you at Haltwhistle Fair.

While music is going, I will have a dance,

So took in my fair one to caper and prance;

She danc’d a nice jig, keeping time to a hair,
