Our thoughts will all be ev'n, Phely^ ' '
When we mbet again, P/fW/.
When we meet again, Phcly, c^fT.
Isow in dreary diftant .groves, "'^-f' f
Tho' we moan like tiiirtle-doves,
Suffering bell: our virtue proves,
And will enhance our loyes, Pheh'.
When we meet again, Vh<:\)\ ic,
Joy will come in a furprize,
'Till its happy hoi'ir arife ;
Temper well your love-fick fighs.
For hope becomes the wife, Phely.
When we meet again, V\\t[y,
When we meef again, Vhdy,
K a -ft lire s will reward our pain,
Jud lofs refill t^ in gain, Phely. ' jy-f ."

/*"\ Come av/ay, come away,
^^ Come away wi' me, /c-m-, -
Sic fiowns I canna hear frae ane,
Whafe fmiles once ravifh'd me^ Jenny,
If you'll be kind, you'll never find
That ought Ihall alt^r me, Jennys
For you're the miftrefs of my mind,
Whate'er you think of me, Jenny,
Firft when your fweets inflav'd my heart,
You feem'd to favour me, Jenny \
But now, alas ! you adl a part
Q? That fpeaks unconftancy, Jenny*
Unconftancy is fic a vice,
'Tis not befitting thee, Jenny ;
It fuits not with your virtue nice
To carry fae to me, Jenny, ^ |-ja^
