VOCAL ENCHANTRESS.
O Jocky was a wag, that never wou'd wed,
Though long he had followed the lafs,
Contented (he work'd, and eat her brown bread,
And merrily turn'd up the grafs.
Bonny Jocky blyth and gay,
Won' her heart right merrily,
But flill me blufh'd and frowning faid,
I cannot, &c.
But when that he vow'd he wou'd make her his bride,
Tho' his herds and his flocks were not few,
She gave him her hand and a kifs befides,
And vow'd fhe'd for ever be true.
Bonny Jocky blyth and gay,
Won her heart right merrily,
At church fhe no more frowning faid,
I cannot, &c.
