There was a lady loved a swine

Melody -

There was a lady loved a swine.
Honey, quoth she,
Pig-hog, wilt thou be mine?
Hoogh, quoth he.

I'll build thee a silver sty,
Honey, quoth she,
And in it thou shalt lie.
Hoogh, quoth he.
  Pinned with a silver pin,
Honey, quoth she,
That thou may go out and in.
Hoogh, quoth he.

Wilt thou have me now,
Honey? quoth she.
Speak, or my heart will break.
Hoogh, quoth he.


From a song popular throughout the seventeenth century.
