270. SongThe Captains Lady |
|
|
Chorus.O mount and go, mount and make you ready, | |
O mount and go, and be the Captains lady. | |
|
WHEN the drums do beat, and the cannons rattle, | |
Thou shalt sit in state, and see thy love in battle: | |
When the drums do beat, and the cannons rattle, | 5 |
Thou shalt sit in state, and see thy love in battle. | |
O mount and go, &c. | |
|
When the vanquishd foe sues for peace and quiet, | |
To the shades well go, and in love enjoy it: | |
When the vanquishd foe sues for peace and quiet, | 10 |
To the shades well go, and in love enjoy it. | |
O mount and go, &c. | |
