COME Sweet Lass, it's bonny Weather let's together Come sweet Lass, let's trip it on the Grass: Every where, poor Jockie seeks his Dear, Unless that she appear, he sees no Beauty there. Hark the Croud, the Mirth invites us and delights us Hark the Croud, the Piper playes aloud, Where all day, the Lasses sport and play; And every one are gay but I when ye're away. But my Smart it was for Meggie not for Peggie, Whose hard Heart, will not kind Lovers part, Whil'st I seek all Corners for her sake; Yet will not partake my Love, tho Heart should break. There came Kate, who sung so finely talkt Divinely, Out of date, because of Pelaflet: Kate she's afraid, the Girls no more a Maid, But sure she's been betray'd and lost her Maidens-head. Jenny bright, with little Francis skips and dances By this light, its a very pretty sight, She is a Lass, can tumble on the Grass, Look Sandy in the Face who brought all these to pass.
