YOUNG LOVE LIVED ONCE (_S.B.S._ 20)
In _Sketches by Boz_ this sentence occurs:
'When we say a "shed" we do not mean the conservatory kind of building which, according to the old song, Love frequented when a young man.'
The song referred to is by T. Moore.
Young love lived once in a humble shed, Where roses breathing, And woodbines wreathing, Around the lattice their tendrils spread, As wild and sweet as the life he led.
It is one of the songs in _M.P., or The Blue-Stocking_, a comic opera in three acts.
