One midfummer morning when nature look'd gay, 9
One morning very early, one morning in the fpring, 19
O! the valiant Jockey,

On Tay's fair banks you've often said,
O'er all the wide ocean the billows were rolling,
Oh, how could I venture to love one like thee,
O Nelly, no longer thy Sandy now mourn,
Once more I'll tune the vocal fhell,
O'er Scotia's parched land the Naiads flew,
One night as poor Colin lay mufing in bed,
O were I able to rehearse

One kind kifs before we part,

Our cares are all banish'd, our fears are all o'er,

O, bonny lafs, will you lie in a barrack,
On Etrick banks, in a fummer's night,
On Teefe' fweet banks I fat with my Molly,

On a bank's flow'ry verge, befide a clear brook,
OI hae loft my filken fnood,

Stern winter has left us, the trees are in bloom,

Since honour has attended upon the marry'd state,

Sophia is bright as the morn,

Since artists who fue for the trophies of fame,

222

Soft pleafing pains, unknown before,

Since they trac'd me alone with a swain to the grove, 254 Since glory calls, I muft away,

'Twas fummer, and softly the breezes were blowing,

The world, my dear Myra, is full of deceit,
The bird that hears her neftlings cry,-
To fly, like a bird, from grove to grove,
The wanton god who pierces hearts,

To eafe his heart and own his flame,

To fing of the nymph and her cot,

The fun from the east tips the mountains with gold, 37 'Twas in that season of the year,

'Tis a maxim I hold, while I live to purfue,

The nypmh that I lov❜d,

The pride of all nature was sweet Willy O,

147

The ploughman he's a bonny lad,

To fing you a fong, firs, it is my intention,
The echoing horn calls the fportfman abroad,
Tho' winter may fright us and chill us with cold,

The topfail fhivers in the wind,
There liv'd a wife in our gate end,

The taylor came to clout the claife,
'Tis wine that chears the understanding,
The morning's freshness calls me forth

The fmiling
morn the breathing spring,
The fun juft glancing thro' the trees,
The tither morn,

There was a jolly miller once,
To cafe my heart, I own'd my flame,
"Twas fummer, and the day was fair,

There was a wife win'd in the glen,

The fummer it was fmiling, all nature round was gay 248

Three lads contended for my heart,

250

To be merry and wife is a proverb of old,

251

Truft not man, for he'll deceive you,

There was a clever country girl,

The tuneful lav'rocks cheer the grove,

When the trees were all bare, not a leaf to be seen
When the sheep are in the fauld, and the ky at hame, 16
With my holiday gown, and my new fashion'd hat, 20
When Maggy firft perch'd wi' love,

When first I beheld thee, I vow and proteft,

Who has e'er been at Baldock must needs know the

mill,

Would you know how we meet o'er our jolly full

bowls,

Weep not, ye ftreams of filver Tay,

Wert thou but mine ain thing,

Why heaves my fond bofom,

With the man that I love,

When Jockey was bless'd with your love and your

truth,

When Delia on the plain appears,

When trees did bud, and fields were green,

Woo'd and married and a',

With tuneful pipe and merry glee,

When Jeffy fmil'd, her lovely look,

When I was of a tender age

When daifies py'd, and violets blew,

When once the gods like us below,

Wine, wine we allow the brisk fountain of mirth,
While penfive on the lonely plain,

When Britons firft, at Heav'n's command,
Waft, O Cupid! to Leander,

Wine, wine in the morning,

When war's alarms entic'd my Willy from me,
What care I for your herrin' in fa't,

When first by fond Damon Flavilla was feen,
With a chearful old friend and a merry old song,
Wherever I'm going, and all the day long,
What beauties does Flora difclofe,

When Sol from the eaft has illumin'd the sphere,
When innocent paftimes our pleasures did crown,
When the heart is at ease, how chearful each scene, 252
While the bee flies from bloffom to bloffom, and fips, 258
When milking my cow in a fine colour'd vale,
When fummer comes, the fwains on Tweed,
When first the eaft began to dawn,

When the trees all their beautiful verdure renew,
When fairies dance late in the grove,
