BLOW, blow, Etesian gale!
LUCILLA'S cap is straight;
Fill fast the flowing sail
Of happy man and mate.

'What is it, Dear? -- A plate?
Do taste this potted quail!'
Blow, blow, Etesian gale!
LUCILLA'S cap is straight.

'More sugar? -- No? You're pale.
My Own, you work too late!
Ah me, if you should fail!
I'll see you to the gate.' --
Blow, blow, Etesian gale!
LUCILLA'S cap is straight.
