121 "Nay, Betty, go! good Betty, go!

"There's nothing that can ease my pain."

Then off she hies, but with a prayer

That God poor Susan's life would spare,

Till she comes back again.

So, through the moonlight lane she goes,

And far into the moonlight dale;

And how she ran, and how she walked,

And all that to herself she talked,

Would surely be a tedious tale.

In high and low, above, below,

In great and small, in round and square,

In tree and tower was Johnny seen,

In bush and brake, in black and green,

'Twas Johnny, Johnny, every where.
