36^ Orpheus Caledonitjs.
The fatal Spear that pierc'd his Breafi^,
His comely Breaft on the Braes of Tarrow.
Did I not warn thee not to, not to love,
And warn from Fight ? but to my Sorrow,
Too rafhly bold, a ftronger Arm
Thou met'ft, and fell on the Braes ofTarrow ?
Sweet fmells the Birk, green grows, green grows the
Grafs,
Yellow on Tarroiz/s Braes the Go wan;
I-air hangs the Apple frae the Rock,
Sweet the Wave of Tar row fiowan.
'^lov.'s Tar row fweer, as fweet, as fwcet flows T'weed^
As green its Grafs, its Gowan as yellow.
As fv/eet fmeiis on its Braes the Bhk,
The Apple from itslR^ocks as mellow.
Fair was thy Love, fair, fair indeed thy Love,
In ilow'ry Bands thou himdid'ft fetter 5
Tho' he was fair, and well-belov'd again,
Than me he never lov'd thee fetter.
Busk ye, then busk, my bonny, bonny Bridcj
Busk ye, then busk, my winfom Marrowj
Busk ye, and lo'c m^ on the Bspks oiTweed^
And think nae mair on the Braes of Tarrow.
How can I busk a bonny, bonny Bride?
Hbw Caii I busk a wiulbiii Ma]:rdw ?
