Doubt and other things, verse and illustrations . [201] Digitized by Microsoft® Dont Call Me Mister,Call Me George Sweet mistress mine, tis May, lets go a-maying, Thy glorious hair like Eve unbind As through the garden we go straying, And bring with Thee a merry breeze To set the trees and rushes singing.
