O Alloa Houfe! how much art thou changd ! So fpoke the fair maid',when forrow’s keen pain ,
How fi!ent,how dullto me is each grove 1 And fhame,her laft fault’ring accents fuppreft;
Alone I here wander,where once we bothrangd. For fate at that moment brought back her dear fwain,
Alas Iwhere to pleafe me my Sandy once ftrovej Who heard,and,withrapture,his Nelly addrel't ;
Here,Sandy,I heard the tales that you told ; My Nellylmy fair,I come;0 my love*
Here liftened,too fond,whenever you fung ; No pow’r fhall thee tear again from my arms.
Am I grown lefs fair then,that you are turn’d cold. And,Nellylno more thy fond f hepherd reprove *
Or foolifh,believ’d a falfe flattering tongue . Who knows thy fair worth,fcc adores all thy charms.
She heard;and new joy fhot thro’ her foft frame ;
And will you,my love ! be true .fhe reply’d ;
And live I to meet my fond fhepherd the fame .
Or dream I that Sandy will make me his bride .
O Nelly! I live to find thee ftill kind;
Still true to thy fwain,and lovely as true :
Then adieu to all forrowIwhat foul is fo blind*
As not to live happy for ever with you .
