Rh in ſvveeteſtſweeteſt [sic] language tell the youth

his forrovvs to give o’er,

Ah gramachree! my love ſhall be

as happy as before.

The daily py’d, and all the ſvveetsſweets [sic]

of Nature’s flovv’ryflow’ry [sic] bed,

Shall join to make a garland, meet

for my dear Strephon’s head;

The primroſe pale, and violet blue,

I’ll add unto the ſtore; Ah gramachree! and vvewe [sic] ſhall be

as happy as before.

Fully many a ſcene of mourning

my Molly late has knovvnknown [sic],

Becauſe my heart its fondneſs kept

for thee, my love, alone;

My parents hid me from thy ſight;

and ſpurn’d thee, from their door:

Ah gramachree! but novvnow [sic] vve’llwe’ll [sic] be

as happy as before.

I laid me davvndawn [sic] upon my bed,

bevvailingbewailing [sic] my ſad fate;

And, like a faithful turtle dove,

I mourned my abſent mate:

And, as the lingering moments paſsed,

I told them o’er and o’er:

Ah gramachree! but novvnow [sic] I’ll be

as happy as before.
