'Mongst Other Roses
Dr. William Boyce
(1710-1779)
'Mongst other Roses
Thorns grow thick,
But Moll's a rose
Without a prick,
Moll's a Rose without a prick.
I went the other day to woo—
Says she, my dear
It will not do,
It will not do, my dear,
It will not do, it will not do.
Then since she
Scorns her am'rous swain,
Still as she is
She may remain,
May she remain.
