Mary tremiled, and Mary chilled, And Mary ell down on the right-hand floor, That William Bond and his sister Jane Scarce could recover Mary more.

When Mary woke and found her laid On the right-hand of her William dear, On the right-hand of his loved bed, And saw her William Bond so near;

The fairies that fled from William Bond Danced around her shining head; They danced over the pillow white, And the angels of Providence left the bed.

'I thought Love lived in the hot sunshine, But oh, he lives in the moony light; I thought to find Love in the heat of day, But sweet Love is the comforter of night.
