Come unto these yellow sands Matches original text
Language: English
Come unto these yellow sands, Then take hands: Curtsied when you have and kissed, The wild waves whist: Foot it featly here and there; And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear. Hark, hark! Bow-wow. The watch dogs bark; Bow-wow. Hark, hark! I hear the strain of strutting Chanticleer Cry, Cock-a-diddle dow.
