Peggy.
When thou ran, or wreflled, or putted the ftane,
And came afF the viftor, my heart was ay fain :

And Rofie lilts fweetly the Milking the eivs 5.
There's few Jenny Nettles like Nanjy can fing,
At Throw the wood laddie, Befs gars our lugs ring :'■

For tJio' they fing nicely, they cannot like thee.

And praifes fae kindly increafes love's fire ;
Give me ftill this pleafure, my ftudy fhall be
To make myfelf better and fweeter for thee.
