To-Morrow Is St. Valentine’s Day

This is one of Ophelia's songs in Hamlet. It is found in several of the ballad operas, such as The Cobblers’ Opera (1729), The Quakers’ Opera (1728), &c., under this name. In Pills to purge Melancholy (1707, ii. 44) it is printed to a song in Heywood’s Rape of Lucrece, beginning, “Arise, arise, my juggy, my puggy.” Other versions will be found under the names of “Who list to lead a soldier’s life,” and “Lord Thomas and Fair Ellinor.” See pages 144 and 145.
