( J 52 )
His fait I ill deny'd,
He kifs'd, and I complyM :
I Sae Jocky promis'd me,
That he wad faithful be.
I'm glad when Jocky carries,
Sad when he gangs away ;
'T'is night when Jocky glooms,
But when he fmiles 'tis day.
When our eyes meet, I pant,
I colour, figh and faint ;
What lafs that wad be kind,
Can better tell her mind ? Q^
Had away from me> Donald,
OCome away, come away,
Come away wi' me, Jenny ;
Sic frowns I canna bear frae ane
Whafe fmiles anes ravifti'd me, Jenny ;
If you'll be kind, you'll never mid
That ought fall alter me, Jenny j
For you're the miftris of my mind,
Whate'er you think of me, Jenny.
Firft when your fweets enflav'd my heart*
You feem'd to favour me, Jenny j
But now, alas ! youacl a part
That fpeaks unconftancy, Jenny.
Unconftancy is fie a vice,
'Tis not befitting thee, Jenny ;
It fuits not with your virtue nice
To carry fae to me, Jenny.
Her Answer.
OHad away, had away,
Had away frae me, Donald %
Your heart is made o'er large for ane,
it is not meet for me, Donald
