SANG XIX. Bujb aboon TraquaiiV-
Sung by Peggy, p. 70.
AT fetting day and rifmg morn,
With foul that ftiil mail love thee,
I'll ask of heaven thy fare return*
With all that can improve thee.
Tllvifitoft the bir-ken-buih, - -
Where iirft thou kindly told me
Sweet tales of love, and hid my blufiv-
Whilft round thou didlt enfold me.
To all our haunts I will repair,
By greenwood-fhaw or fountain ;
Or where the fummer-day I'd mare
With thee, upon yon mountain.
There will I tell the trees and flowers.
From thoughts unfeign'd and tender, '
By vows you're mine, by love is yours
A heart which "cannot wander.
SANG XX. Bonny gray efd Morn.
Sung by Sir William, p, 74.
THE bonny gray eyed morning begins to peep, ,
And daiknefs flys before the rifing ray,
The hearty hyndilarts from his lazy lleep,
To follow healthful labours of the day,
Without a guilty fting to wrinkle his brow,
The lark and the linnet tend his levee,
And he joins their concert, driving his plow,
From toil of grimace and pageantry free.
While flutter^ with wine, or madden'd with lofs,
Of half an eftate, the prey of a main,
drunkard and gameller tumble andtofs,
lining for talmnds and ilumber in vain.
