My Nanny, O

While some for pleasure pawn their health, 'Twixt Lais and the Bagnio, I'll save myself, and without stealth, Bless and caress my Nanny, O. She bids more fair t'engage a Jove, Than Leda did, or Dannae, O: Were I to paint the Queen of Love, None else should sit but Nanny, O.

How joyfully my spirits rise, When dancing she moves finely—O, I guess what heaven is by her eyes, Which sparkle so divinely—O. Attend my vow, ye gods, while I Breathe in the blest Britannia; None's happiness I shall envy, As long's ye grant me Nanny—O

My bonny, bonny Nanny—O, My lovely charming Nanny—O; I care not tho' the whole world know How dearly I love Nanny—O.
