Not at Home lyrics

That Jealousy may rule a mind
       &nbspWhere Love could never be
I know; but ne'er expect to find
       &nbspLove without Jealousy.

She has a strange cast in her ee,
       &nbspA swart sour-visaged maid—
But yet Love's own twin-sister she
       &nbspHis house-mate and his shade.

Ask for her and she'll be denied:—
       &nbspWhat then? they only mean
Their mistress has lain down to sleep,
       &nbspAnd can't just then be seen.
