Songs from an Island in the Moon(五)

     The Song of Phoebe and Jellicoe
     Phoebe drest like beauty's queen,
     Jellicoe in faint pea-green,
     Sitting all beneath a grot,
     Where the little lambkins trot.
     Maidens dancing, loves a-sporting,
     All the country folks a-courting,
     Susan, Johnny, Bob, and Joe,
     Lightly tripping on a row.
     Happy people, who can be
     In happiness compar'd with ye?
     The pilgrim with his crook and hat
     Sees your happiness complete.
