Who pities not the Swains Defpair,
That hears, The Bujli a loon Trdquair •
Or him that loves, yet cannot fay, t
If Beffey Bell, or Mary Gray :
Thus merrily they court the Fair*
And love and ling in Northern Air:
Thus the gay Warblers of the Spring
From Spray to Spray do hop and ring;
Kind Nature fills their little Throats
With fweet and unaffe&ed Notes;
Their flutt'ring Wings to Love fhe prunes
Their Voices wild to Love fhe tunes;
And all the Cares they ever prove*
Is Life, half Harmony, half Love.
