By a pretty conceit George Gas- coigne, in his Lullaby of a Lover, captures the sentiment of a mother and babe, to make it tell the story of his own love and content. There is a touching song by Rob- ert Greene in his Menaphon, where Se- phestia puts into her lullaby the story of her parting with the child's father : — " Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee, When thou art old, there 's grief enough for thee. The wanton smiled, father wept, Mother cried, hahy leapt. More thou crowed, more he ...cried. Nature could not sorrow hide ; He must go, he must kiss Child and mother, baby bless ; For he left his pretty boy. Father's sorrow, father's joy. Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee. When thou art old, there 's grief enough for thee.''
