(6) ſtood a while, and did admire, to ſee a nymph ſo ſtately: So briſk an air there did appear, in a country-maid ſo neatly! ſuch natural ſweetneſs the diſplay'd, like a lily in a bogie; Diana's ſelf was ne'er array'd -like this fame Katherine Ogie! Thou flow'r of females, beauty's queen, who fees the ſure muſt prize; Tho' thou art dreſs'd in robes but mean, yet theſe can not diſguiſe thee : Thy handſome air, and graceful look, far excells the clowniſh rogie; Thou'rt match for Laird, or Lord, or Duke, my charming Katherine Ogie. O were but I a ſhepherd ſwain ! to feed my flock beſide thee; At bughting-time to leave the plain, in milking to abide thee: I'd think myſelf a happier man, with Kate, my club, and dogie, Than he that hugs his thouſands ten, had I but Katherine Ogie.
