O, how Peggy charms me t
Every look still warms me;
Every thought alarms me.
Lest she love nae me.
Peggy doth discover
Novight but charms all over ;
Nature bids me love her ;
That's a law to me.
Who would leave a lover.
To become a rover ?
No, I'll ne'er give over.
Till I happy be.
For since love inspires m^e.
As her beauty fires me.
And her absence tires me.
Nought can please but she.
When I hope to gain her.
Fate seems to detain her ;
Cou'd I but obtain her,
Happy wou'd I be.
I'll ly down before her.
Bless, sigh, and adore her.
With faint looks implore her,
Till she pity me.
SWEET SUSAN.

The morn was fair, saft was the air,
All nature's sweets were springing ;
The buds did bow with silver dew.
Ten thousand birds were singing :
