Six Beautiful Songs/The Lass o' Peaties Mill
The Lass o' Peaties Mill.
The Lass of Peaties mill
so bonny blyth and gay,
In spite of all my skill,
hath stole my heart away.
When tedding of the hay,
bare headed on the green,
Love midst her lecks did play,
and wanton'd in her een.
so bonny blyth and gay,
In spite of all my skill,
hath stole my heart away.
When tedding of the hay,
bare headed on the green,
Love midst her lecks did play,
and wanton'd in her een.
Her arms white round and smooth,
breasts rising in their dawn,
To age it would give youth,
to press 'em with his hand!
Thro' all thy spirits ran
an extasy of bliss,
When I such sweetness sand,
wrapt in a balmy kiss.
breasts rising in their dawn,
To age it would give youth,
to press 'em with his hand!
Thro' all thy spirits ran
an extasy of bliss,
When I such sweetness sand,
wrapt in a balmy kiss.
Without the help of art,
like flowers which grace the wild,
She did her sweets impart,
when e'er she spoke or smil'd.
Her looks they were so mild,
free from affected pride,
She me to love beguil'd,
I wish'd her for my bride.

O had I all the wealth
Hoptouns high mountains fill,
Insured long life and health,
and pleasure at my will;
I'd promise and fufil,
that none but bonny she
The Lass of Peaties mill,
should share the same with me.
