| William Blake (1757–1827). The Poetical Works. 1908. | | | | Songs from ‘An Island in The Moon’ | | V. The Song of Phoebe and Jellicoe |
| | | PHOEBE 1 drest like beauty’s queen, | |
| Jellicoe in faint pea-green, | |
| Sitting all beneath a grot, | |
| Where the little lambkins trot. | |
| |
| Maidens dancing, loves a-sporting, | 5 |
| All the country folks a-courting, | |
| Susan, Johnny, Bob, and Joe, | |
| Lightly tripping on a row. | |
| |
| Happy people, who can be | |
| In happiness compar’d with ye? | 10 |
| The pilgrim with his crook and hat | |
| Sees your happiness complete. | |
