A Thou fond Tranfports crowd his Breaft,
He moves as light as fleeting Wind,
His former Sorrows fee ma Jeft,
Now when his JEAN IE is turn'd kind :
Riches he looks on with Difdain,
The glorious Fields of War look mean,
The chearful Hound and Horn give Pain,
If abfent from his bonny JEAN.
The Day he fpends in am'rous Gaze,
Which even in Summer fhorten'd feems.
When funk in Downs with glad Amaze,
He wonders at her in his Dreams.
All Charms difclos'd, fhe looks more bright
Thsn Trofs Prize the Spartan Q:ieen,
With breaking Day he lifts his Sight,
And pants to be with bonny JEAN.
