John Gay Quote

All in the Downs the fleet was moored,
The streamers waving in the wind,
When black-eyed Susan came aboard.


'Sweet William's Farewell to Black-Eyed Susan' (1720)


All in the Downs the fleet was moored, The streamers waving in the wind, When black-eyed Susan came aboard.

All in the Downs the fleet was moored, The streamers waving in the wind, When black-eyed Susan came aboard.

All in the Downs the fleet was moored, The streamers waving in the wind, When black-eyed Susan came aboard.

All in the Downs the fleet was moored, The streamers waving in the wind, When black-eyed Susan came aboard.
