e me now Jockeys away: forlorn I fit finging,and this is my ftrain,haf(e,hafte,myd< j
When lads and their laffes are on the green met j
They dance and they Gng,and they laugh, and they chat,
Contented and happy with hearts full of glee,
,1 can't without envy their merriment fee.
Thofe pleafures offend me, my fhepherd's not there,
No pleafure I relifh that Jockey dont fhare,
It makes me to figh,I from tears fcarce refrain,
I wifh my dear Jockey returncJ back again*
But hope fhall fufiain me, nor will I defpair,
He promis'd he would in a fortnight be here; ,
On fond expectation my wifhes I'll feaft,
For love my dear Jockey to Jenny will hafte^
Then farewell each care, and adieu each vain figh.
Who'll then be fo bleft or fo happy as li
I'll fing on the meadows, and alter my ftrain.
When Jockey returns to my arms back again.
