It was a merry first of May, and en the sports were done, A maiden drew herself away, and, musing, sat alote ; My second coming by her aide, her hand 'did "gently presi, Then tat nim down, and whispered low. What »aid he ? Can't you guest? Next day, ton thousand people came in crowds irom every part ; And every eye was firmly fixed, all eager for the start : A happy second then was I, my joy knew no control.
