VI.
The lajl tt?7te I came oer the Moor,
TH E laft time I came o'er the Moor,
I left my Love behind me ;
Ye Powers ! what Pain do I endure,
When foft Ideas mind me ?
Soon as the ruddy Morn difplay'd
The beaming Day enfuing,
I met betimes my lovely Maid,
In fit Retreats for wooing.
Beneath the cooling Shade wc lay.
Gazing and chaftly fporting ;
We kifs'd and promis'd time away,
Till Night fpread her black Curtain.
I pity'd all beneath the Skies,
Ev'n Kings when fhc was nigh mc i
In Raptures I beheld her Eyes,
Which could but ill deny me.
Shou d I be call'd where Cannons roar,
Where mortal Steel may wound me j
Or caft upon fome foreign Shore,
Where Dangers may furround me :
