8 JOHN & NELL's FROLIC. As Nell sat underneath hea cow,
 * up in a cock of hay,

Brisk John was coming from the plow
 * and chanced to pass that way;

Like lightning to the maid he flew,
 * and by the hand he seiz'd her:

Pray John she cry'd do quit, do;
 * and frow'nd because he pleased her.

Young Cupid from his mothers knee,
 * observed her female pride,

Go on and prosper John says he,
 * and I will be your guide:

Then aim'd at Nellys breast a dart,
 * from pride it soon released her;

She fainting cry'd I feel loves smart,
 * and sigh'd because it eased her.

FINIS.

P. Buchan, Printer, Peterhead.
