The young man begg'd for liberty,
to plough the raging ſes;
I know I never robb'd a man,
my Lord, in all my days.
And when ſhe got him Caſe away,
ſhe ſat down in the ſhade;
Then ſhe began to aſk him
if he knew ſuch a maid?
His eves began to flow with tears,
when hearing of her name ;
My dear, ſaid ſhe, don't troubled be,
for fare I am the ſame.
With ectaſy of joy they fled
into each other's arms!
He found the higheſt pleaſure,
while kiſſing of her charms!
My dear how could you venture
your ſweet and charimng life?
Then to the Church they went,
and ſo made her his wife.
THE DRUMMER's COURTSHIP.
As I went forth one morning fair.
To view the fields, and take the air,
I ſpy'd a young drummer all alone.
For his true-love was making moan.
