Of all the ylad New-year, mother, the maddest, merriest day;
For I’m. to be Queen o’the May, mother, Frn to be Queen o’the May.
Good night, sweet mother, call me before the day is born.

But I would see the sun rise upon the glad New-year,
So, if you’re leaking, call me, call me early, mother dear.
