( 5 ) The young man begg'd for liberty,

to plough the raging es;

I know I never robb'd a man,

my Lord, in all my days.

And when he got him Cae away,

he at down in the hade;

Then he began to ak him

if he knew uch a maid?

His eves began to flow with tears,

when hearing of her name ;

My dear, aid he, don't troubled be,

for fare I am the ame.

With ectay of joy they fled

into each other's arms!

He found the highet pleaure,

while kiing of her charms!

My dear how could you venture

your weet and charimng life?

Then to the Church they went,

and o made her his wife.

THE DRUMMER's COURTSHIP.

As I went forth one morning fair.

To view the fields, and take the air,

I py'd a young drummer all alone.

For his true-love was making moan.
