A military appointment Annotated

“So back you have come from the town, Nan, dear!
And have you seen him there, or near -
&nbsp That soldier of mine -
Who long since promised to meet me here?”

“ - O yes, Nell: from the town I come,
And have seen your lover on sick-leave home -
&nbsp That soldier of yours -
Who swore to meet you, or Strike-him-dumb;

“But has kept himself of late away;
Yet, - in short, he’s coming, I heard him say -
&nbsp That lover of yours -
To this very spot on this very day.”

“ - Then I’ll wait, I’ll wait, through wet or dry!
I’ll give him a goblet brimming high -
&nbsp This lover of mine -
And not of complaint one word or sigh!”

“ - Nell, him I have chanced so much to see,
That - he has grown the lover of me! -
&nbsp That lover of yours -
And it’s here our meeting is planned to be.”
