Falfe woman ! in ages to come
Thy malice deteiled mall be ;
And when we are cold in the tomb*
Some heart ftill will forrow for me.
Ye roofs where cold damps and difmay,
.With filence and folitude dwell,
How comfortlefs paffes the day,
How fad tolls the evening bell ;
The owls from the battlements cry,
Hollow wind feems to murmur around^

Y Peggy is a young thing,
Juft enter'd in her teens,
Fair as the day, and fweet as May,

Yet wicl I like 'to meet her

To a' the lave I'm cauld ;
But fne gars a' my fpirits glow,
At wawking- of the fauld*
