ODES.


SONG.

I.FROM While's and Will's To purling rills The love sick Strephon flies;   There, full of woe,   His numbers flow, And all in rhyme he dies.
II.  The fair coquett,    With feign'd regret, Invites him back to town;    But, when in tears    The youth appears, She meets him with a frown.
III.  Full oft' the maid   This prank had play'd, 'Till angry Strephon swore,   And, what is strange,   Tho' loth to change, Would never see her more.
