l84 T?IE MUSICAL REPOSITORY,
That day (he fmil'd and made me glad;
No maid feem'd ever kinder ;
I thought myfelf the luckieft lad,
So fweetly there to find her.
I try'd to foothe my am'rous flame,
In words that I thought tender;
I( more there pafs'd I'm not to blame ?>-.
I meant not to offend her.
Yet now (he fcornful flees the plain,
The fields we then frequented ;
If e'er we meet (he (hows difdain,
She looks as ne'er acquainted.
The bonny bufh bloom'd fair in May,
Its fweets I'll ay remember ;
But now her frowns make it decay ;
It fades as in December.
Ye rural pow'rs, who hear my ftrains,
Why thus (hould Peggy grieve me ?
Oh, make her partner in my pains !
And let her fmiles relieve me !
If not, my love will turn defpair ;
My pa^ffion no more tender ;
I'll leave the bufn aboon Traquair j,
To lonely wild^ I'll wander.
