A Military Appointment
SCHERZANDO "So back you have come from the town, Nan, dear! And have you seen him there, or near - That soldier of mine - Who long since promised to meet me here?" " O yes, Nell: from the town I come, And have seen your lover on sick-leave home - That soldier of yours - Who swore to meet you, or Strike-him-dumb; "But has kept himself of late away; Yet, in short, he's coming, I heard him say - That lover of yours - To this very spot on this very day." " Then I'll wait, I'll wait, through wet or dry! I'll give him a goblet brimming high - This lover of mine - And not of complaint one word or sigh!" " Nell, him I have chanced so much to see, That he has grown the lover of me! - That lover of yours - And it's here our meeting is planned to be."
