( 2 ) CAPTAIN BARNWELL.

as I was walking,

'twas on a ummer's day,

I heard two lovers talking,

and he to him did ay,

All in a mournful ditty,

he thus began her tale,

Which mov'd his heart in pity,

her true love to bewail.

O true-love, true-love Samuel,

now begins thy woe!

O true-love, true-love Sarah,

what makes you to ay o?

My friends and brother Barnwell,

is o dipleas'd at thee,

They ay that they will lay thee

upon the mountains high.

O tell thy friends and brother,

I am not uch a man!

I care not a traw for them,

let them do the wort they can:

Give me thy hand, weet laie,

and tand thee true to me,
