 ( 24 ) If you walk in the fields any pleaſure to find You may ſee what the powman enjoys in his nind: The corn he ſows grown, and the flowers do ſpring! and the plowman's us happy at a prince or a king.

When bis day's work is done that he has to do, Perhaps to ſome country wake he will go, There with a ſweet laſs he will dance and ſing, And at night return with his las lack again. And as they return from their walk in the town, When the meadows are mowd and the glaſs cut down If they chance for to tumble among the green hay, Itu kiss me now or never, the damel will ſay.

Then he riſes next morning to follow his team, Like a jolly plowman ſo seat and ſo trim; If he kiſſ a pretty girl be will make her his wife, And ſhe loves her dear plowman as ſhe does her life, Come Molly and Dolly let s away to the wake. Then the plow boys will treat us with beer, ale and cake, And if in coming home they ſhould gain their ends Ne'er fear but they'll marry us, or make us amende,

There's Molly and Dolly, and Nelly and Sue, Tare Ralph joha. Willy and your Tommy too Each lad takes hit lers to the wake or the fils. Adzooks, they look rarely I vow and declare.

FINIS.
