Notes |
Text: O thou, man of fame and slaughter, You cannot have my mother's daughter; / You are the man, I most could bet, That went
away from poor Jeanette. / What's the use of that long sword to you? Void of courage to run an enemy through, / Or even a
bull-frog to attack a rush, Thou art no soldier, but a man of mush.
