Amo, Amas, I Love A Lass
Anon., published 1764
Amo amas I love a lass,
As a cedar tall and slender;
Sweet cowslip's grace is her nominative case
And she's of the feminine gender.
Rorum corum sunt divorum harum scarum Divo!
Tag rag merry derry, periwig and hatband
Hic hoc horum genetivo.
Can I decline a nymph divine?
Her voice as a flute is dulcis;
Her oculis bright, her manus white,
And soft when I tacto, her pulse is.
Rorum.
O how bella my puella,
I'll kiss secula seculorum;
If I've luck, sir, she's my uxor!
O dies benedictorum! Rorum . . .
