NONSENSE RHYMNES: 20 by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "REJOICE, REJOICE, MY LITTLE ORANGE TREE"
Last Line: "HOMELY, HOMELY, BUT NOT IGNORED."
Subject(s): COURTSHIP;NONSENSE;
Rejoice, rejoice, my little orange tree,
And lemon bush be glad for me
For I have a lover, sweetly won--
Do not think that I have none;

At my house above the gate
A sign is hanging to relate
In writing clear and richly scored:
"Homely, homely, but not ignored."
