The red bows unbent ,
Were received and deposited .
I have here an admirable quest ,
And with all my heart I bestow one on him .
The bells and drums have been arranged in order ,
And all morning will I feast him .
The red bows unbent ,
Were received and fitted on their frames .
I have here an admirable quest ,
And with all my heart I rejoice in him .
The bells and drums have been arranged in order ,
And all morning will I honour him .
The red bows unbent ,
Were received and placed in their cases .
I have here an admirable quest ,
And with all my heart I love him .
The bells and drums have been arranged in order ,
And all morning will I pledge him .
