Roufe up thy reafou, my beautiful Nanny,
Let no new whim take thy fancy from me.
Oh ! as thou art bonny, be faithful as any,
Favour thy Jemmy, who doats upon thee.
Can the death of a linnet give Nanny the fpleen ?
Can lofmg of trifles a heart -aching be ?
Can lap-dogs or monkies draw tears from thofe een,
That looks with difdain on unfortunate me ?
Roufe up thy reafon, my beautiful Nanny,
Scorn to prefer a vile parrot to me :
Oh ! as thou art bonpy, be faithful as any.
Think on thy Jemmy, who doats upon thee.

E'er fquirrels and beaus and their fopp'ry had pow'r
To rival my love and impofe upon thee.
Roufe np thy reafon, my beautiful Nanny,
Let thy defires be all centered in me :
Oh ! as thou art bonny, be prudent as any,
Love thy own Jemniy, who doats upon thee.
