Woes my heart that we flion'd fonder.
we fhoucT funder; To others I am cold as fnow, But kindle with thine
Chain d to thy charms,! cannot range,
No beaut)" new my love fhall hinder,
Nor time, nor place, £hall ever change
My vows, tho' we're oblig'd to funder.
The image of thy graceful air,
And beantie8 which imite our wonder,
Thy lively wit, and prudence rare,
•Shall ftiU de prefent, tho' we funder.
Dear nymph, believe thy fwain in this,
You'll ne'er engage a heart that's kinder,
Then fl-al a promife with a kifs,
Always to love me, tho' we funder.
Ye powers, take care of my dear lafs.
That as 1 leave her I may find her.
Wl i n that bh-fs'd time fhal! come to pafs,
Wis l! meet again, and never funder.

SPEAK on,-fpeak thus, and ftill mygrijfl
Hold *ip a heart that's finking unded [.
Thefe fears, that foon will want relief;
When Pate muft from his Peggy fund
A gentler face, and filk attire,
A lady rich in beauty's blofsom,
Alake poor me; will now confpire
To fteal thee from thy Peggy's bofom,
No more the fhepherd, who excell'd
The reft, whofe wit made them towondef
Shall now his Peggy's praifes tell,
Ahi I can die, but never funder.
Ye meadows where we often ftrayy,
Ye banks where we were wont to wande
Sweet-fcented rocks round which we play
Ibull lofe your fweets when we're afimd
Again, ah! IhaLl I never creep
Around the know with filent duty,
Kindly to watch thee, while afleep.
And wonder at thy manly beauty.
Hear, heaven, while fblcmnly I vow,
Tho' thou fhoutdft prove a vsandringlov
Thro', life to thee T fhall prove true
Nor be a wife to anv othtr.
