Original

And he feeds on pinks alway.

Round his neck's a golden band,

"Rosalinda" 's on it writ,

And a padlock fastens it.

Oh! of pinks he is so sweet,

And he has such dainty feet—

The Princess Rosalinda's lamb!

If you find him, you who read,

And him to his mistress lead,

Rich reward she offers you:

Lovely china mug of blue,

Coral beads, a turquoise ring,

Silver bangles—anything

That you choose to have in mind;

Ah, you're lucky if you find

Princess Rosalinda's lamb!

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
