Babbling, babbling, all day long,—

Babbling, babbling, all day long,—

 

How I detest thy simple song.

How I detest thy simple song.

 

I would not have thee in my sight,

I would not have thee in my sight,

 

Did not all nobles claim a right

Did not all nobles claim a right

 

To keep some menial servant near,

To keep some menial servant near,

 

And therefore 'tis that thou art here.

And therefore 'tis that thou art here.
