Modern Beau/Paddy in Love

PADDY IN LOVE.

I'VE been long in love with a demsel hard by.
She has a pig in the stable, and a horse in the sty;
Her c e k are as red as the sun in the night,
Her eyes shine as bright as the moon in day-light.
With a ⟨balinamona Ora,⟩
A pretty black girl for me.

It would charm you to see her at church or at mill,
Where she trips it so nimbly you'd swear she stood still,
At milking her cow too the wor'd must agree,
She looks just like Vulcan ris'n out of the sea,
With a balinamona Ore, &c.

As I sit by her side I'm scarce able to stand,
And call her my bride by a squeeze of the hand;
The match is concluded, I'd take her for life,
And get her consent when I’ve made her my wife.
With my balinamona Oro, &c!

Her smell like victory proclaimed afar,
And her breath sounds as sweet aa the trumpet of war
She is straight as a rainbow from foot to the head,
And I'll doat on my jewel long after I’m dead,
With my balinamona Oro, &c.
