THE ELDER WOMAN'S SONG: 4, FR. KING LEAR'S WIFE by GORDON BOTTOMLEY
First Line: O, MERRY, MERRY WILL MY HEART BE Last Line: AND GO LIKE A LADY, WARMLY DREST. Subject(s): OLD AGE; WOMEN;
O, MERRY, merry will my heart be When I can sit me down and rest: If you would live to make old bones Keep your knees off the kitchen-stones, And go like a lady, warmly drest.
