 OLD locks, and black locks,
 * Red locks and brown,

Topknot to love-curl
 * The hair wisps down;

Straight above the clear eyes,
 * Rounded round the ears,

Snip-snap and snick-a-snick,
 * Clash the Barber's shears;

Us, in the looking-glass,
 * Footsteps in the street,

Over, under, to and fro,
 * The lean blades meet;

Bay Rum or Bear's Grease,
 * A silver groat to pay —

Then out a-shin-shan-shining
 * In the bright, blue day.
