YET LOV’D I AS MAN NE’ER LOVED (O.C.S. 50)

Words by William Mee. Millard.

From ‘Alice Gray.’

    She’s all my fancy painted her,
      She’s lovely, she’s divine,
    But her heart it is another’s,
      It never can be mine. 
    Yet lov’d I as ne’er man loved,
      A love without decay,
    Oh my heart, my heart is breaking,
      For the love of Alice Gray!

‘Alice Gray.’  A ballad, sung by Miss Stephens, Miss Palon, and Miss Grant.  Composed and inscribed to Mr. A. Pettet by Mrs. Philip Millard.

Published by A. Pettet, Hanway Street.

YOU GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND (D. & S. 23)

Old English Ballad.

A seventeenth-century song, the last line of each verse being
‘When the stormy winds do blow.’

YOUNG LOVE LIVED ONCE (S.B.S. 20)

In Sketches by Boz this sentence occurs: 

    ’When we say a “shed” we do not mean the conservatory
    kind of building which, according to the old song,
    Love frequented when a young man.’

The song referred to is by T. Moore.

    Young love lived once in a humble shed,
      Where roses breathing,
      And woodbines wreathing,
    Around the lattice their tendrils spread,
    As wild and sweet as the life he led.

It is one of the songs in M.P., or The Blue-Stocking, a comic opera in three acts.
