'''Description:''' A catch for three voices. There are two editions from 2 distinct sources. The edition which appeared in Horsley's collection was "bowdlerised" to remove the lewdness of the original. It also required the initial 8 bars of each part to be sung 3 times, rather than once only as in the original version. For the obsolete meaning of the verb "roger" see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger wikipedia entry] for that word.

<poem>
A beauteous fair has stole my heart,
A beauteous fair has pierced [stole] my heart,
‘t was Marianna threw the dart.
‘t was Marianna threw the dart.
Don’t you now my tale betray,
Don’t you now my tale betray,
but she is Frolic’s daughter gay.
but she is Roger's [Frolic’s] daughter gay.
Does she in yon cottage dwell?
Does she in yon cottage dwell?
If she does I know her well,
If she does I know her well,
</poem>
</poem>


N.B. In earlier Georgian editions, Marianna appears as the daughter not of Frolic, but of Roger. Unbounded, unbowdlerized, amusement ensues.
