She has wit and beauty as you'll find,
I make no doubt she'll please your mind.

She’s much like me in each degree,
I wish it were the same, quoth he,
You have your wish home take your love,
And I'll adore you by all above.

Ten thousand pounds a year she had,
It's enough to quite the ocean wide:
She clothed him that very day,
And they we e married straightway.



ROSLIN CASTAE.

'Twas in that season of the year.
When all things gay and sweet appear,
That Colin with the morning ray,
Arose and sung his rural lay
Of Nanny's charms the shepherd sung;
The hiils and dales with Nanny rung:
While Roslin Castle heard the swain,
And echo'd back the cheerful strain.

Awake sweet muse, the breathing spring;

With rapture warms; awake and sing;
