3932457The Days O' Langsyne (1802) — O Dear! I'm So Pleas'dAnonymous
O DEAR! I'M SO PLEAS'D.

When Strephon appears, how my heart pit a pat,
shews the tender emotion with which it is seiz'd,
To the shepherd's bewitching gay innocent chat,
I could listen for ever, O dear! I'm so pleas'd.

My grandmother frowns, & protests I'm too young,
with the lesson of Cupid so soon to be teaz'd,
But so sweet is the honey that falls from his tongue,
I laugh at my grandmam, O dear! I'm so pleas'd.

Should he ask me to wed, as he hinted to-day,
when my hand he so soft & so tenderly squeez'd,
He's so pretty a swain that I can't say him nay,
I'm resolv'd to be marry'd, O dear! I'm so pleas'd.
