THE OTHER PITCHER
The silver moon that shines so bright,
I swear, with reason is my teacher;
And if my minute-glass runs right,
We have time to drink the other pitcher.
It is not yet day, it is not yet day,
Then why should we forsake good liquor? - Chorus
Until the eun beams round us play,
Let us jocund push about the pitcher .
•
They say that I must work all dey,
And sleep at night to grow much riches;
But what is all the world can say,
Compared to myrth, my friend and pitcher. Chorus
Though one msy boast a handsome wife,
Yet stra.nge vagaries may bevi tch her;
Unvened I live a cheerrful life,
And boldly call for the other pitcher.
I dearly love a hearty man,
No sneaking milk-sop Jenny twitches;
Who loves a lass and loves a. glass,
And boldly calls for the other pitcher.
Chorus

THE DAYLIGHT IS GONE
Come, dearest, the daylight is gone,
And the stars are unveiling to thee,
Come, wander my loved one, alone,
If alone thou canst call it with me.
Let us go where the wild flowers bloom,
Amid the soft dews of the night,
Where the orange dispells its perfume,
And the rose speaks of love and of life.
Come, dearest, I must so soon leave thee,
To wander mid strangers alone,
Yfuen at eve thy sweet smiles can not gre~t me,
Nor thy gentle voice at morn.
But, Oh, 'twill be sweet to remember,
Although l am far, far from thee,
That the hand of faith can't sever,
My lasting affections for thee.
