Poems and Songs of Robert Burns
my spouse nancy tune—“my jo janet.” “husband, husband, cease your strife, nor longer idly rave, sir; tho' i am your wedded wife yet i am not your slave, sir.” “one of two must still obey, nancy, nancy; is it man or woman, say, my spouse nancy?' “if 'tis still the lordly word, service and obedience; i'll desert my sov'reign lord, and so, good bye, allegiance!” “sad shall i be, so bereft, nancy, nancy; yet i'll try to make a shift, my spouse nancy.” “my poor heart, then break it must, my last hour i am near it: when you lay me in the dust, think how you will bear it.” “i will hope and trust in heaven, nancy, nancy; strength to bear it will be given, my spouse nancy.” “well, sir, from the silent dead, still i'll try to daunt you; ever round your midnight bed horrid sprites shall haunt you!” “i'll wed another like my dear nancy, nancy; then all hell will fly for fear, my spouse nancy.”M.HＺGJJX.cＯM
