CHARMING BEAUTY BRIGHT
i
Once I courted a charming beauty bright, On her I placed my own heart's delight; I courted her for love and love I did obtain, I'm sure she had no reasons to me to complain.

One day to the window she was forced to go, To see if her true love endured yet or no, He lifted up his head, his eyes were shining bright, His only thoughts were of his own heart's delight.

Her parents were against it when they came to know, They strove to part us by day and by night, They locked her in her chamber and kept her concealed, I never got a sight of my love any more.
