Little maid of Arcadee Sat on Cousin Robin's knee,
	Thought in form and face and limb, Nobody could rival him.
He was brave and she was fair, Truth they made a pretty pair,
	Happy little maiden she! Happy maid of Arcadee! Happy little maiden she, Happy maid of Arcadee Happy maid of Arcadee!

Moments fled as moments will Happily enough, until
	After, say, a month or two, Robin did as robins do.
Weary of his lover's play Jilted her and went away,
	Wretched little maiden, she, Wretched maid of Arcadee. Wretched maid of Arcadee.

Mlle. Clary

Mlle. Clary, the original Sparkeion.The last performance of Thespis with the original music was given as her benefit on 27 April 1872.

To her little home she crept, There she sat her down and wept...
	Maiden wept as maidens will, Grew so thin and pale until
Cousin Richard came to woo. Then again the roses grew.
	Happy little maiden she! Happy maid of Arcadee! Happy little maiden she! Happy maid of Arcadee! Happy maid of Arcadee!
