There I myſelf did diſappoint
for ſhe did leave me fairly,
My words knock'd all things out of joint,
I loſt both the maid and barley.
PART II.
RIDDING down a narrow lane,
ſome two or three hours after,
There I chanc'd to meet again
the Farmer's bonny Daughter:
Although it was both raw and cold,
I ſtaid to hold a parley,
And ſhew'd once more my purſe of gold,
when ſhe had ſold her barley,
Love, ſaid I, pray do not frown,
but let us change embraces,
I will buy thee a ſilken gown,
with ribbons, gloves, and laces;
A ring and bodkin, muff, and fan,
no Lady ſhall have neater;
For as I am an honeſt man,
I ne'er ſaw a ſweeter creature.
Then I took her by the hand,
and ſaid, My deareſt jewel,
Why ſlouldſt thou diſputing ſland,
I pray thee be not cruel.
She found my mimd was fully bent,
to pleaſure my fond deſire;
Therefore ſhe ſeemed to conſent,
but I wiſh I'd ne'er come nigh her.
