Seven excellent songs/Fair Eliza

FAIR ELIZA.

Turn again thou fair Eliza,
Ae kind blink before we part,
Rew on thy despairing lover!
Canst thou break his faithfu’ heart!
Turn again the fair Eliza;
If to love thy heart denies,
For pity hide the cruel sentence,
Under friendship’s kind disguise!

Thee dear maid, hae I offended?
The offence is loving the:
Canst thou wreck his peace for ever,
Wha for thine would gladly die!
While the life beats in my bosom,
Thou shall mix in ilka throe:
Turn again thou lovely maiden,
Ae sweet smile on me bestow.

Not the bee upon the blossom,
In the pride o’ sinny noon;
Not the little sporting fairy,
All beneath the simmer moon;
Not the poet in the moment
Fancy lightens on his e’e,
Kens the pleasure, feels the rapture
That thy presence gies to me.
