Jenny Wren

Jenny Wren fell sick;
  Upon a merry time,
In came Robin Redbreast,
  And brought her sops of wine.

Eat well of the sop, Jenny,
  Drink well of the wine;
Thank you Robin kindly,
  You shall be mine.

Jenny she got well,
  And stood upon her feet,
And told Robin plainly
  She loved him not a bit.

Robin, being angry,
  Hopp’d on a twig,
Saying, Out upon you,
      Fye upon you,
          Bold-faced jig!
