Ballads of the Four Seasons
��The Lord Governor, he comes from the south,
His five horses stop and stay.
The Lord Governor bids his men aslc;
And they say: "Who art thou, little maid?"
"I am the fair daughter of Master Chin,
"Lo-foh is my name."
"How old art thou, Lo-foh?"
"I am still less than twenty,
"But more than fifteen — yea, much more."
The Lord Governor, he entreats Lo-foh.
Says he, "Wilt thou ride with me, yea or nay?"
Lo-foh comes forward and replies:
"My Lord Governor," says she, "how foolish, indeed!
"My Lord Governor, you have your own lady,
"And Lo-foh, she has a man of her own"
