NANNY-O

While some for pleasure pawn their health,
'Twixt Lais and the bagnio,
I 'll save myself, and without stealth
Kiss and caress my Nanny-O,
She bids more fair to engage a Jove,
Than Leda did or Danae-O:
Were I to paint the queen of love,
None else should sit but Nanny-O.

How joyfully my spirits rise,
When dancing she moves finely-O;
I guess what heav'n is by her eyes,
Which sparkle so divinely-O.
Attend my vow, ye gods, while I
Breathe in the blest Britannio,
None's happiness I shall envy,
As long 's ye grant me Nanny-O.

CHORUS .

My bonny bonny Nanny-O,
My loving charming Nanny-O,
I care not tho' the world do know
How dearly I love Nanny-O.
