And leave your men in ſie a ſrait,
So early in the morning.
Hey Johnny Coup, &c.

Alas! quoh Johnny, I got a fleg,
Wi' them claymores and philabegs,
If I face them again I'll break my legs;
So I wiſh you a good morning.

Hey Johnny Coup are ye waking yet,
Or are your drums a-beating yet,
If ye were waking I wou'd wait,
To gang to the coals i' the morning.

VULCAN'S CUP.

VULCAN, contrive me ſuch a cup
as Neſtor us d of old;
Try all your art to trim it up,
and Damaſk it round with gold.

Carve me thereon the mantling vine,
and eke two lovely boys;
Whoſe limbs in amorous folds intwine,
the type of future joys.

Make it ſo large, when filled with ſack,
up to the ſwelling brim;
