THE SKY-LARK.<br />

Death again stood her friend, for, kill'd in a fray,<br />

He also the grave chanc'd to pop in,<br />

So now with my song I shall soon belay,<br />

Pull away, pull away, pull away,<br />

Belay,<br />

<strong>The</strong> six husbands <strong>of</strong> Meg <strong>of</strong> Wapping.<br />

But I did not tell you how that she married seven,<br />

Pull away, pull away, so neatly!<br />

Twas honest Tom Trip and he sent her to heaven,<br />

And her strong box rummaged sweetly:<br />

For Meg, growing old, a fond dotard proved,<br />

And must after a boy needs be hopping,<br />

So she popp'd <strong>of</strong>f, and Tom with the girl that he lov'd,<br />

Pull away, pull away, pull away,<br />

I say,<br />

Spent the shiners <strong>of</strong> Meg <strong>of</strong> Wapping<br />

GLEE.<br />

This bottle's the sun <strong>of</strong> our table,<br />

His beams are rosy wine,<br />

We, planets, that are not able<br />

Without his help to shine.<br />

Let mirth and glee abound,<br />

You'll soon grow bright<br />

Withborrow'd light,<br />

And shine as he goes round.
