| 256. Cherry-Ripe |
| |
| CHERRY-RIPE, ripe, ripe, I cry, | |
| Full and fair ones; come and buy. | |
| If so be you ask me where | |
| They do grow, I answer: There | |
| Where my Julia's lips do smile; | 5 |
| There 's the land, or cherry-isle, | |
| Whose plantations fully show | |
| All the year where cherries grow. | |
