MY LADY

MY LADY DOTH FLUSH WITH

MY GOBBETS OF PRAISE

AND I AM IN A HEATED HAZE

AND WITH HER ARCHING CURIOUS SMILE

IN TRUTH SHE OFTEN DOTH ASTOUND,

AND O THAT I COULD GIVE HER ONE

WHERE THE SUN BEING SHY

CAN NEVER SHINE

EVERY TIME SHE DOTH COME AROUND

EVERY TIME SHE DOTH COME AROUND

This made me laugh, Ray, I'm always one for the barmy too.

I agree, it would sound just great with a Richard the 3rd accent!

I'm just glad you share my sense of the barmy as well as the serious Wolfie. I got this idea I think from the Armstrong and Miller comedy period ballroom scene which was strong stuff every week. I want to read this live with a Richard the 3rd accent. Gotter be dun.
