BEJffs Beauties fhine fae bright,
Were her many Virtues fewer,
6he wad ever give Delight,
And in Tranfport make me view her.
Bonny Bejfj, thee alane
Love I, naithing elfe about thee ;
With thy Comelinefs I'm tane,
And langer cannot live without thee.
BeJJy's Bofom's faft and warm.
Milk-white Fingers ftill employ'd 5
He who takes her to his Arm,
Of her Sweets can ne'er be cloy'd.
My dear BeJJ}, when the Rofes
Leave thy Cheek, as thou grows aulder,
Virtue, which thy Mind difclofes.
Will keep Love frae growing caulder.
Bejf/s Tocher is but fcanty,
Yet her Face and Soul difcovcrs
