"1 ~K /"Hen trees did bud, and fields were green,
* * And broom bloom'd fair to fee ;
When Mary was complete fifteen,
And love laugh'd in her e'e ;
Blithe Davie's blinks her heart did move
To fpeak her mind thus free,
Gang down the burn, Davie, love,
And I {hall follow thee.
Now Davie did each lad furpafs,
That dwelt on this burnfide ;
And Mary was the bonnieffc lafs,
Jufl meet to be a bride ;
Her cheeks were rofy red and white.
Her e'en were bonny blue ;
Her locks were like Aurora bright,
Her lips like dropping dew.
As down the burn they took their way,
What tender tales they faid !
His cheeks to hers he aft did lay,
And with her bofom play'd :
Till baith at length impatient grown.
To be mair fully bieft,
In yonder vale they lean'd them down i
Love only faw the reft.
CEase to beauty to be filing,
Ever whining, love difdaining ;
Let the brave, their aims purfuing,
Still be concurring, vnot complaining,
