THE TWO MAGICIANS, by ANONYMOUS First Line: O she looked out of the window Last Line: And fetched her to his lair Subject(s): Magic | |||
O she looked out of the window, As white as any milk; But He looked into the window, As black as any silk. Hulloa, hulloa, hulloa, hulloa, you coal black smith! O what is your silly song? You never shall change my maiden name That I have kept so long; I'd rather die a maid, yes, but then she said, And be buried all in my grave, Than I'd have such a nasty, husky, dusky, musty, fusky, Coal black smith A maiden I will die. Then She became a duck, A duck all on the stream; And He became a water dog, And fetched her back again. Hulloa, & c. Then She became a hare, A hare all on the plain; And He became a greyhound dog, And fetched her back again. Hulloa, & c Then She became a fly A fly all in the air; And He became a spider, And fetched her to his lair.
