fja THE MUSICAL REPOSITORY.
Wekome ! (he cried, my conftant Thomas,
Tho* out of fight, ne'er out of mind;
Our hearts tho' feas have parted from us,
Yet they my thoughts did leave behind i
So much my thoughts took Tommy's part,
Thaf time nor abience from my heart
Could drive jny conftant Thomas.
This knife, the gift of lovely Sally,
I ftill have kept for her dear fake i
A thoufand times, in am'rous folly,
Thy name I've carv'd upon the deck.
Again this happy pledge returns,
To tell how truly Thomas barns,
How tmly burns for Sally.
This thimbTe didft thou give to Sally,
Whilft this I fee 1 think of you ;
Then why does Tom ftand fliiily Ihally ,
While yonder fteeple's in our view ?
Tom, never to occafion blind,
Now took her in the coming mind,
Ajad went to church with Sal^.
