Yet, by the bye I muſt declare,
I virtue had in view
Altho' my mother cry'd, Beware,
Mind huſſy what you do!
To Damon, gayeſt of the green,
I gave my youthful hand,
His blooming face and comely mien,
I cou'd not well withſtand
But ſtraight to (illegible text)we trip away,
with hearts both firm and true,
Ah then my mother ceac'd to ſay,
Mind, huſſy what you do!
Ye laſſes all attend to me,
and hence this leſſon learn.
When (illegible text) your mind a man you ſee,
ne'er look moroſe or ſtern.
But take him with a tree god wili,
ſhould he have love for you,
Altho your mother's crying ſtill,
Mind, huſſy, what you do!

THE CLAISE.

Sic a braw fellow !

Daffin down, and daffin down,
He (illegible text) the houſe a fu' o' flaes,
Daffin down and dilly.
