5z The Ge nt l e S he phe rd.
I spak my mind-she beard-1 spak again,
She smil'd—I kiss'd—I woo-'d, nor woo'd in vain.
SANG XVI. Tune, Kirk wad let me be.
Duty and part os reason,
Plead jirong on the parents side,
• Wh'nb lovesuperior calls treafon,
The ssrongesi muji be obey'd:
For now tho' Vm one of the gentry.
My conjiancy saljhoed repels;
For change in my heart is no entry,
Still there my dear Peggy excels.
Tatie. I'm glad to hear't—But O my change this day,
Heaves up my joy, and yet I'm sometimes wae.
I've found a sather, gently kmd as brave,
And an estate that lifts me'boon the lave.
With looks all kindness, words that love confest .-

While close he had me to his manly breast.
Such were the eyes, he said, thus smil'd the mouth
Of thy lov'd mother, blessingof my youth!
"Who let too soon!— And while he praise bestow'ds
Adown his gracefu' cheeks a torrent ssow'd.
My new-born joys, and this his tender tale,
Did, mingledthus, o'er a'my thoughts prevail.
That speechless lang, my late ken'd Sire I view'd,
While gudiing tears my panting breast bedew'd.
Unusual transports made my heart turn round,
Whilst I my self with rising raptures found,
The happy son of ane sae much renown'd.
But he has heard,--too faithful Symon's sear !
Has brought my love for Peggy to his ear,
Which he forbids,-—ah! this confounds my peace,
While thus to beat, my heart must sooner cease.
Rarer. How to adviseyou, troth I'm at a srand1:
■But wer't my case, ye'd clear it upaff-hand.
Patie. Duty and hasien reason plead his cause:
$ur love rebels against all bounding laws;
