By Pinkie House 1 oft let me walk,
And muse o'er Nelly's charms !
Her placid air, her winning talk,
Even envy's self disarms.
let me, ever fond, behold
Those graces void of art —
Those cheerful smiles that sweetly hold,
In willing chains, my heart !
1 Pinkie House, the seat of Sir Archibald Hope, Bart., is a Scottish
manor-house, in the taste of the time of King James VI., situated
in the midst of a fine old grove, close by the town of Musselburgh.
