    "Here comes one Span, one Spanish maid,
    I've come to seek your daughter Jane,"
    The mother answers :-
    My daughter Jane, she is too young,
    To be consoled by anyone.
    The other girl answers :-
    "Let her be young, let her be old,
    'Tis for her beauty she must be sold."
    The mother answers :-
    "Here is my daughter safe and sound,
    And in her pocket three hundred pounds,
    And on her finger a plain gold ring,
    She's fit to marry any king."
    Then the other girl takes Jane by the hand and dances saying :-
    "You shall have a duck, my dear,
    You shall have a servant, to serve you all the year,
    And when your husband dies, leave that girl alone,
    She shall sing and shall dance,
    and clap her hands together."
