Quick flew the shelter over Miss Now Simon was a droll one, He thought this was the time to kiss, So from her lips he stole one, She blush'd;-the rain full off, and he Th' umbrella closed for draining; "Ohǃ don't," says she, "I plainly see It hasn't left off raining," Tol ol ol

Now Simon, where he smok'd the plan The umbrella righted; He grew quite bold, talk'd like a man, And she seemed quite delighted. Their lips rung chimes full fifty times.

Like simple lovers training, Says she, "These are but lovers crimes; I hope it won't cease raining." Tol ol ol.

He kiss'd her out of her consent, That she became his bride; hence To buy the ring was his intent, And thus to get the licence They parted, but he took much pafos Where they should need to tell her Says she, "I'll meet when next it rain So mind your umbrella." Tol ol ol.
