Part 2 — THE GOLDEN FISH
Reading edition
Love is a little golden fish, Wondrous shy... ah, wondrous shy... You may catch him if you wish; He might make a dainty dish... But I... Ah, I've other fish to fry!
For when I try to snare this prize, Earnestly and patiently, All my skill the rogue defies, Lurking safe in Aimee's eyes... So, you see, I am caught and Love goes free!
George Arnold [1834-1865]
