Stanza 1 is printed under the music (first lyric line of each system), the chorus under it (second lyric line, labelled
"CHORUS." in small capitals at the start of system 1). Stanzas 2–8 are printed below the music only as their first
line followed by "&c." (each repeats the pattern of stanza 1 with the new address). The spelling of "promised" varies
by position exactly as printed ("prom-ised" / "promised" / "promis'd").
