A Greek Slave Song Number 10

If I were the boy with the golden bow And a wing on either shoulder, Who shoots with a dart that is all aglow, In a costume rather colder, I'd have some fun with the girls of Rome, And perhaps to just amuse them I'd bring them a choice of husbands home With directions how to us them. Would the men be bold (As they are, I'm told) And would all the girls be shy? Though of course I've never tried How it feels to be a bride I should rather like to try!If I were a man (though the mendeclare They're extremely glad I'm not one,) A soldier I'll be with a sweetheard fair For a soldier's always got one! I'd march to war with a swelling breast And the air of a hero dreamy If only I knew that I look'd my best, And that lots of girls could see me! Oh, the fow I'd what Till he hit me back When I might begin to cry! Though perhaps it isn't right For a girl to want to fight, I should rather like to try!
