THE CONSIDERATE NYMPH.

YOUNG Colin ſeeks my heart to move,And ſpeaks and talks ſo much of love, He'll hang or drown I fear it.Of pangs and wounds, and pointed darts,Of Cupid's bow, and bleeding hearts. I vow I cannot bear it. I vow, &c.He ſays I'm pretty, mighty well,And witty too—that's better ſtill, And ſenſible, I ſwear it:But words we know are nought but wind,Unleſs he'll freely tell his mind, I vow I cannot bear it. I vow, &c.The ſhepherd dances blythe and gay,And ſweetly on his pipe can play: I own I like to hear it:But downcaſt looks, and hums and ha's,So ſadly pleads the lover's cauſe, I vow I cannot bear it. I vow, &c.I wish ſome friendly nymph or ſwain,Would bid the baſhful boy ſpeak plain, I'd wed him, I declare it:Then pluck up courage like my ſex.The honeſt youth no more I'll vex, I vow and do declare it. I vow, &c.


FINIS.
