YOung Jamey was a Lad of Royal Birth and breeding, With every beauty clad, and every Swain exceeding: In Shape and Face so wondrous fair, so charming every part, That every Lass upon the Green for Jamey had a Heart. In Jamey's powerful eyes young gods of love are playing, And in his face there lies a thousand smiles betraying: But oh! he dances with a grace, none like him e're was seen, No god that ever faced was had so Divine a Mean. To Jamey every Swain did lowly doff his Bonnet. And every Lass did strain to praise him in her Sonnet: The Pride of all the Youth he was, the glory of the Groves, The pleasure of each tender Lass, the Theam of all our loves. But oh unhappy fate! ah! curse upon Ambition, The busie Fopps of State have ruin'd his Condition; For glittering hope he left the Shade, his glorious hours are gone, By flattering Fools & Knaves betray'd poor Jamey is undone.
