Tho' Cupid's dart had ſtruck my heart,
and fain I wad a gi'en my han',
Yet durſtna, lest my mither ſhou'd
diſlike a rantin' Highlandman:
But I expect that he'll come back,
then tho' my kin wad ſwear an' ban,
I'll o'er the hill, or where he will,
wi' my yonng rantin' Highlandman.

YOUGAL HARBOUR
OR,
Pretty Nancy of Capperquin.
I being on my rambles on a ſummer's morning,
early as the day did dawn,
And Sol appear'd in his pomp and glory,
I took my way thro' a pleaſant lawn:
The pinks and roſes were ſweetly blowing
and linets warbling in each ſhade,
I being alarmed by a killing charmer,
near Yougal Harbour I met this maid.

Her aſpect pleaſing, her ſmiles engaging,
I thought ſhe really would attract my mind;
As I view'd each feature, I thought on the fair
that in Rathangan I had left behind.
