When late I wander'd oer the plain,
From Nymph to nymph
I strove, in vain, my wild desires to rally,
To Rally,
My wild desires to rally;
But now they're of themselves come home,
They centre all in Sally,
In Sally,
They centre all in Sally.

Manuscript in Thomas Collection
Mozart transcription by Mary Van Deusen
No longer let whimsical songers compare,
The merits of wine with the charms of the fair;
I appeal to the men to determine between;
A tun bellied bacchus and beauty's fair queen;
A tun bellied bacchus and beauty's fair queen.
