 OF LAWRENCE LAZY 23 At. Gen. Did he fly? Jury. No: At. Gen. Gentleman of the jury, be court diſcharges you. At the word No, there was a gene- al ſhout of acclamation; and the even- ing was ſpent in ringing of bells, bon- ires, &c. for the happy deliverance of Lawrence Lazy. Tho' many ow'd to him a grudge, Yet they were ne'er the near ; The jury ſatisfy'd the Judge, And ſet poor Lawrence clear.

SONG: The Faithful Shepherd. When flow'ry meadows deck the year, and ſporting lambkins play, When ſpangl'd fields renew'd appear, And muſic wak'd the day; Then did my Chloe leave her bow'r, To hear my am'rous lay, Warm'd by my love ſhe vow'd no pow'r Should lead her heart aſtray. The warbling quires from ev'ry bough Surround our couch in throngs,
