Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEFGDHIJDEKBKLMJ DTo Mary Robinson | A |
'WHAT are you lost you pretty little lady | B |
This is no place for such sweet things as you | C |
Our bodies rank with sweat will make you sicken | A |
And you'll observe our lives are rank lives too ' | D |
'Oh no I am not lost Oh no I've come here | E |
And I have brought my lute see in my hand | F |
To see you and to sing of all you suffer | G |
To the great World and make it understand ' | D |
'Well say If one of those who'd robbed you thousands | H |
Dropped you a sixpence in the gutter where | I |
You lay and rotted would you call her angel | J |
For all her charming smile and dainty air ' | D |
'Oh no I come not thus Oh no I've come here | E |
With heart indignant pity like a flame | K |
To try and help you ' 'Pretty little lady | B |
It will be best you go back whence you came | K |
' Enthusiasms we have such little time for | L |
In our rude camp we drill the whole day long | M |
When we return from out the serried Battle | J |
Come and we'll listen to your pretty song ' | D |
