“Make ready fair Lady to night,” from Sir Martin Marr-All


He.	Make ready fair Lady to night,
	And stand at the Door below,
	For I will be there
	To receive you with Care,
	And to your true Love you shall go.	5

She.	And when the Stars twinckle so bright,
	Then down to the Door will I creep,
	To my Love will I flye,
	E’er the jealous can spye,
	And leave my old daddy asleep.	10
