Yet they’re never happy asunder. This verse was printed in the Gentleman’s Magazine in 1735 under the title of “The Joys of Love Never Forgot: a song.” The ballad, whose anonymous author may have been poet Henry Woodfall, praises, in a number of stanzas, Darby and Joan, whose names have come to stand for any mutually affectionate and contented old married couple. The poet, if he did write the verse, probably patterned his pair on John and Joan Darby who lived in Bartholomew Close, London. Woodfall had served an apprenticeship under John Darby, a printer, who, with his wife, was widely known for his good works and faithfulness.
