( 7 )
No longer be pipes on his reed,
no longer his praises I’ll tell,
yet dull is the banks of the Tweed,
since Jockey has bid them farewel.
His crook he has broken in twain,
his sheep and his lambkins now stray,
they bleet for their master in vain,
and carefully wander away;
then haste thou playsome shepherd so free,
and call the poor flocks to their home,
O be to them kinder than he
who caus’d the poor wand’rers to roam.
Each virgin so happy and gay,
attend to the words I impart,
Be careful and cautious I pray
how you give a young shepherd your heart,
though Jockey was rural and neat,
to me was most loving and kind,
his manners were gentle and sweet,
till cruelty grew m his mind.

BY THAT BORROWED KISS.
CHLOE, by that borrowed kiss,
I alas! am quite undone!
Twas so sweet, so fraught with bliss,
thousands will not pay that one!&c.
Left the debt shall break your heart,
(roguish Chloe, smiling-, cries)
some, a thousand, then, in part,
for the present shall suffice, thousands &c.
