The foft declaration ftiil founds in my ear;
My image, he faid, on his foul was rmprefs'd,
And faithful his flame, as his heart was fincere.
His wifhes tho' fond, I as fondly repaid,
For ohl a warm heart it is eafy to gain,
Which kind prof efsions already perfuade,
Our pleafure was mutual and mutual our pain.
Still fortune relentlefs our union denied,
In queft of more treafure to India he went,
But there, haplefs youth, to my forrow he died,
And left me for ever his fate to lament.
Gay hopes and delightful prefages adieu,
Adieu ye foft whifpers of tender defire;
From thee my dear fw-ain thefe emotions firft grew,
In deep difappointment with thee they expire.

| Description | By James Johnson. 6 volumes. Edinburgh : Printed & sold by Johnson & Co., 1787-1803. Burns contributed largely to the work, and Stephen Clarke prepared the arrangements of most of the airs. ["The volumes of the Musical museum, as originally published, were 'Humbly dedicated to the Catch Club, instituted at Edinburgh June 1771.' On the completion of the sixth and last volume, in 1803, Johnson substituted a new set of title-pages, dedicating the work 'To the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.'"--Laing's pref., to 1839 ed., v. 1, p. ii, foot-note]. |
