On all Arcadia's sunny plain	A
On all Arcadia's hill	B
None were so blithe as BILL and JANE	A
So blithe as JANE and BILL	B
	-
No social earthquake e'er occurred	C
To rack their common mind	D
To them a Panic was a word	C
A Crisis empty wind	D
	-
No Stock Exchange disturbed the lad	E
With overwhelming shocks	F
BILL ploughed with all the shares he had	E
JANE planted all her stocks	F
	-
And learn in what a simple way	G
Their pleasures they enhanced	H
JANE danced like any lamb all day	G
BILL piped as well as danced	H
	-
Surrounded by a twittling crew	I
Of linnet lark and thrush	J
BILL treated his young lady to	I
This sentimental gush	J
	-
Oh JANE how true I am to you	I
How true you are to me	K
And how we woo and how we coo	I
So fond a pair are we	K
	-
To think dear JANE that anyways	L
Your chiefest end and aim	M
Is one of these fine summer days	L
To bear my humble name	M
	-
Quoth JANE Well as you put the case	N
I'm true enough no doubt	O
But then you see in this here place	N
There's none to cut you out	O
	-
But oh if anybody came	M
A Lord or any such	P
I do not think your humble name	M
Would fascinate me much	P
	-
For though your mates you often boast	Q
You distance out and out	O
Still in the abstract you're a most	Q
Uncompromising lout	O
	-
Poor BILL he gave a heavy sigh	R
He tried in vain to speak	S
A fat tear started to each eye	R
And coursed adown each cheek	S
	-
For oh right well in truth he knew	I
That very self same day	G
The LORD DE JACOB PILLALOO	B
Was coming there to stay	G
	-
The LORD DE JACOB PILLALOO	B
All proper maidens shun	T
He loves all women it is true	I
But never marries one	T
	-
Now JANE with all her mad self will	B
Was no coquette oh no	U
She really loved her faithful BILL	B
And thus she tuned her woe	U
	-
Oh willow willow o'er the lea	B
And willow once again	V
The Peer will fall in love with me	B
Why wasn't I made plain	A
	-
	-
	-
A cunning woman lived hard by	R
A sorceressing dame	M
MACCATACOMB DE SALMON EYE	R
Was her uncommon name	M
	-
To her good JANE with kindly yearn	W
For BILL'S increasing pain	A
Repaired in secrecy to learn	W
How best to make her plain	A
	-
Oh JANE the worthy woman said	X
This mystic phial keep	Y
And rub its liquor in your head	X
Before you go to sleep	Y
	-
When you awake next day I trow	U
You'll look in form and hue	I
To others just as you do now	Z
But not to PILLALOO	B
	-
When you approach him you will find	D
He'll think you coarse unkempt	A2
And rudely bid you get behind	D
With undisguised contempt	A2
	-
The LORD DE PILLALOO arrived	B2
With his expensive train	A
And when in state serenely hived	B2
He sent for BILL and JANE	A
	-
Oh spare her LORD OF PILLALOO	B
Said BILL if wed you be	B
There's anything I'D rather do	B2
Than flirt with LADY P	B
	-
The Lord he gazed in Jenny's eyes	C2
He looked her through and through	B2
The cunning woman's prophecies	D2
Were clearly coming true	B2
	-
LORD PILLALOO the Rustic's Bane	A
Bad person he and proud	B2
HE LAUGHED HA HA AT PRETTY JANE	A
AND SNEERED AT HER ALOUD	B2
	-
He bade her get behind him then	V
And seek her mother's stye	R
Yet to her native countrymen	E2
She was as fair as aye	R
	-
MACCATACOMB continue green	F2
Grow SALMON EYE in might	B2
Except for you there might have been	E2
The deuce's own delight	B2
