 But a sight of you is more to me,

than all the flow'rs in time Peggy;

Then all the flow'rs of Olify,

when they are in their prime Peggy:

The Highland hills are very high,

and O they're ill to climb Willy,

But I will go along with you,

I canna stay behind Willy.

Let ne'er your conscience you beguile,

or money you ensnare Willy,

But ever keep a single heart,

for that's true love and rare Willy.

Now Willy he has married her

and made her his own Peggy;

And they do live a happy life,

and she's a gallant Lady.





Ttend ye nymphs while I impart,

The secret wishes of my heart;

And tell what swain, if one there be,

Whom Fate designs for Love and Me.

Let reason o'er his thoughts preside,

In honour all his actions guide;

Stedfast in virtue let him be,

The swain design'd for Love and Me.

Let solid sense inform his mind,

With pure good nature sweetly join'd;

Sure friend to modest merit be,

The swain design'd for Love and Me.
