 * In Portland-{{ls}}quare I there did dwell,

Where many a one knew me full well, With a bunch of ribbons at every knee, 1 thought no lad {{ls}}o fla{{lsh}} as me.


 * Methinks I hear the death-bell toll,

The Lord have mercy on my {{ls}}oul! May God receive me when I die. I care not where my body lie.


 * You roadmen all I pray attend

To the{{ls}}e few lines which I have penn’d, Leave off your thieving, & take good way And then you’ll {{ls}}ee more happy days.

{{c| {{x-larger|ANNA. {{gap}} A favourite Song}} }}

{{di|S}}Hepherds, I have lo{{lgst}} my love,
 * have you {{ls}}een my Anna?

Pride of every {{lsh}}ady grove,
 * upon the banks of banna.

I for her my home for{{ls}}ook,
 * on yon mi{{lgst{{y mountain;

Left my flock, my pipe, my crook,
 * greenwood {{lsh}}ade and fountian.

Never {{lsh}}all I {{ls}}ee them more,
 * until her returning:

All the joys of life are o’er,
 * from gladne{{ls}}s chang’d to mourning.

W hither is my charmer flown
 * {{lsh}}epherds, tell me whither.

Ah! woes for me, perhaps {{lsh}}e’ gone,
 * for ever, and for ever.
