For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.

The lightfoot boys are laid;

In fields where roses fade.

But keep your fancy free.'
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.

We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.
