A PASTORAL CO ME Dr. 41-
"Roger. I've seen the morning rise with faired light,
The day unclouded, link in calmest night.
I've seen the spring run wimpling throw the plain,
Increase and join the ocean, without stain.
The bridegroom may be blyth, the bride may smile;
Rejoyce throw life, and all your fears beguile.
SANG XIII. Tune, Leith-Wynd.
Jenny.
Were I ajsurdyou'll consiant prove*
Ypt* (hould nae mair complain,
The easy maid, befet with love,
F&w words wilt quickly gain;
For Lmuft own, nowfince y&u'resr-et,
This too sond heart os mine
Mas lang, a black-sole true to thet,
Wish'd to be pair'd with thine. .
Roger.
I'm happy nov^ ah I let my head
Upon thy breasi recline \
Thepleasure ftrikes me near-hand de^d;
iijenny thensae kind '.--
O let me briss thee to my heart!
And round my arms entwine:
Delytjul thought, we'll never part-I
Come press thy mouth to mine.
Jenny. Were I but sure ye lang wou'd love maintain
The fewest words my easy heart could gain :
For I maun own, since now at last you're free,
Altho' I jok'd, I lov'd your company;
And ever had a warmness in my breasf,
That made ye dearer to me than the rest.
Ro^er. I'm happy now ! o'er happy '.had my head ! —
This gush of pleasure'slike to be my deid.
Come to my arms J orstrikeme! I'm-all fyr'd-
With wondering love! let's kiss till we be tyr'd.
Kiss, kiss! we'll kiss the sun and starns away,
And ferly at the quick return of da> !
O fenny! let my arms about thee twine
And briss thy bony breasls and lips to mine.
[They embrace*
Jenny,
