The Goldfinch came on next,
To give away the Bride;
The Linnet, being bridesmaid,
Walked by Jenny’s side;
And as she was a-walking,
Said, " Upon my word,
I think that your Cock Robin
Is a very pretty bird.”
The Blackbird and the Thrush,
And charming Nightingale,
Whose sweet “jug” sweetly echoes
Through every grove and dale;
The Sparrow and Tomtit,
And many more, were there;
All came to see the wedding
Of Jenny Wren the fair.
The Bullfinch walked by Robin,
And thus to him did say, |
“Pray mark, friend Robin Redbreast,
That Goldfinch dressed so gay:
“What though her gay apparel
. Becomes her very well,
Yet Jenny’s modest dress and look
"Must bear away the bell.”
