No, No, Says Rose, I'll Die
Mr. Matthew Prior
(1650-1722)

No, No, No, No, No, for my virginity,
When I lose that, says Rose, I'll die—
Behind the elms, behind the elms last night,
Behind the elms last night, cried Dick,
Behind the elms, behind the elms,
Rose, Rose, were you not,
Were you not extremely sick?
Rose, Rose, were you not extremely sick?
