 (2) The BONNY HIGHLAND LAD. DOWN by yod ſhady grove, One day I chanc'd to rove, To paſs ſome dull hours away; Beneath a myrtle ſhade, II ſpy'd a lovely maid, On her ſpinn ſo ſweetly did play: To yield me more delight, This charming lady bright, In concert the ſung very ſad, Unhappy maid an I. That lure for love muſt die, For my bonny bonny Highland lad. I drew a little near, The better for to hear, This charming young creature ſung on, My love has croſs'd the ſea, And from me went away, This charming comely young man ; His lovely air and mein, May well deſerve a queen, Although that his fortune is bad, But yet I hope to ſee, My love before I die, O! my bonny bonny Highland lad. You Fasos that rule above, Preſerve the man I love,
