The Light-Hearted Fairy

Curly Locks

CURLY LOCKS! curly locks! wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor yet feed the swine;
But sit on a cushion, and sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries, sugar, and cream!

St. Valentine's Day

Good morrow to you, Valentine!
Curl your locks as I do mine;

Two before and three behind;
Good morrow to you, Valentine!

The King of France

THE King of France went up the hill,

WITH twenty thousand men;
The King of France came down the hill,

And ne'er went up again.
