Here Jack and Tom are paired with Moll and Meg. br Curved open to the river-reach is seen br A country merry-making on the green. br Fair space for signal shakings of the leg. br That little screwy fiddler from his booth, br Whence flows one nut-brown stream, commands the joints br Of all who caper here at various points. br I have known rustic revels in my youth: br The May-fly pleasures of a mind at ease. br An early goddess was a county lass: br A charmed Amphion-oak she tripped the grass. br What life was that I lived? The life of these? br Heaven keep them happy! Nature they seem near. br They must, I think, be wiser than I am; br They have the secret of the bull and lamb. br 'Tis true that when we trace its source, 'tis beer.
