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.
