Poems (Rossetti, 1901)/Boy Johnny
BOY JOHNNY.
"IF you'll busk you as a bride And make ready, It's I will wed you with a ring, O fair lady."
"Shall I busk me as a bride, I so bonny, For you to wed me with a ring, O boy Johnny?"
"When you've busked you as a bride And made ready, Who else is there to marry you, O fair lady?"
"I will find my lover out, I so bonny, And you shall bear my wedding-train, O boy Johnny."
