Written at the reqtieft of a Lady^,
IF you can tell, ye mufes, fay,
Where dwells the lovely maid
That blolTora'd in the pride of May
Near yonder myrtle fliade ?
Dirett me where the fair to find,
Ye bright ceiedial powers !
Oh bring me where, with peace refign'dj
She blooms ainid the iiowers.
In vain T fearch the groves around,
Aud tvecy fylvan fcene ;
Among :hc' woods {he • not fouiidj.
Nor waac'ers o'er the green.
Q f onie tiieo, fair one, to my breaft^.
And every pain remove ;
Wiihin thefe arins be ever bleft-
With conftancy and love,
SONG CCCI.
A favom'ite, Scot* Song..
WHEN firft th'e eaft begins to dawD^ ,
