DAFFY DIL AND JONNY QUIL.

Reading edition

Said Jonny Quil

to Daffy Dil,

His pretty country cousin:

"Now is our chance

to have a dance,

Your sisters, full a dozen,

Are here in golden

cap and frill;

What say you,

Cousin Daffy Dil?"

Said Daffy Dil

to Jonny Quil,

"To dance would give

us pleasure;

But, then, you know,

the wind must blow,

To beat our time

and measure.

Young April Wind

will be here soon,

And he will whistle

us a tune."
