 They did not make uſe of a paw, man:

And we ran, and they ran;

And they ran, and we ran;

And we ran, and they ran awa', man.





Let the tempeſt of war

Be heard from afar,

With Trumpets and cannons alarm,

Let the brave, if they will,

By their valeur or ſkill,

Seek honour and conqueſt in arms.

To live ſaſe and retire,

Is what I deſire,

Of my flocks and my laſſie poſſeſt;

For in them obtain

True peace, without pain,

And the laſting enjoyment of reſt.

In ſome cottage or cell,

Like a ſhepherd to dwell,

From all interruption at eaſe;

In a peaceable life,

To be bleſt with a wife,

Who will ſtudy her huſband to pleaſe.
