MY ROMAN LASS

AS I to the town was going one day

My Roman lass I met by the way;

Said I: Young maid, will you share my lot?

Said she: Another wife you’ve got.

Ah no! to my Roman lass I cried:

No wife have I in the world so wide,

And you my wedded wife shall be

If you will consent to come with me.
