315
Can they forstand the tartan trews,
And " Auld Stuarts back again !"
SHE ROSE AND LET ME IN.
SEMPLE.
Tune — She rose and let me in.
The night her silent sable wore,
And gloomy were the skies ;
Of glitt'ring stars appear'd no more
Than those in Nelly's eyes.
"When to her father's door I came,
Where I had often been,
I begg'd my fair, my lovely dame,
To rise and let me in.
But she, with accents all divine.
Did my fond suit reprove ;
And while she chid my rash design,
She but inflamed my love.
Her beauty oft had pleased before.
While her bright eyes did roll ;
But virtue had the very power
To charm my very soul.
Then who would cruelly deceive,
Or from such beauty part ?
I loved her so, I could not leave
The charmer of my heart.
My eager fondness I obey'd.
Resolved she should be mine.
Till Hymen to my arms convey'd
My treasure so divine.
Now, happy in my Nelly's love.
Transporting is my joy ;
