Wliicli made the love-fick I^addie rue.
For flie was cauld when he was true.

Just then he met my tell tale e'en.
And love fo true is foonest feen.
Hear T^ afs faid he my heart is thine.
For thy foft wishes are like mine.
Now Jenny in her turn may mourn.

One day a pretty wreath he twin’d.
Where Lflacks \v

To make a garland for her hair.
But fhe refus’d a gift fo fair.
This fcorn he cry’d can ne’er be born.
But fweet the love that meets return.
My answer was both frank and kind,
I loo’d the lad and toll’d my mind.
To Kirk we went wi’ hea rty glee.
Ami wha fa blest as he and me,
N ow blith we fing o’er brae and burn.
How fweet the love that meets return.
