UNGRATEFUL NANNY.

Did ever a swain a nymph adoie,
as I ungrateful Nanny did?
Was ever shepherd's heart so sore,
or ever broken heart so true?
My cheeks are swell'd with tears but she
Has never wet cheek for me.


If Nanny call’d, did e'er I stay,
or linger when she bid me run?
She only had the word to say
and all she wish'd was quickly done,
I always think on her but she
Does ne’er bestow a thought on me


To let her cows my clover taste,
have I got ros by break of day?
Did ever Nanny’s heifers fast,
if Robin in his barn bad hay?
Tho' to my fields they welcome were,
I ne'er was welcome yet to her.


If ever Nanny lost a sheep

I cheerfully did give her tow;
