an almost accidental gathering of poets
 
   
 
 
Leigh Hunt
 (1838)
Rondeau
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who loves to get
Sweets into your list, put that in:
Say I´m weary, say I´m sad,
Say that health and wealth have missed me,
Say I´m growing old, but add,
Jenny kissed me.




a fresh modern version janks open the rime structure:

Jenny kissed me when we met,
jumping from her chair,
Time, you thief, who loves to add
sweets into your list, put that in:
say I´m weary, say I´m sad,
say I´m poor and in ill health,
say I´m growing old - but note, too,
Jenny kissed me.
