( 6 ) When the 'fquire he did hear that night,

that he was croſs'd in's love;

On the farmer he did vow revenge,

by the juſt Powers above.

The farmer he immediately,

did to the 'ſquire ſend

A challenge ſtraight; with him to fight,

next day him to attend.

The farmer he his love did win,

from the 'ſquire the next day;

For which his love of him did prove,

and then without delay

They both join'd hands in wedlock bands,

their hearts they did unite,

So the farmer he lives happily,

and enjoys his heart's delight.

The To its own proper Tune.

PON the banks of pleaſant Forth,

doth ſtand a town, I will not name;

And nigh to it there lives a maid,

of great renown and equal fame!

When firſt this fair I did eſpy,

my ſenſes then was ravith'd quite;

My heart's her captive, I declare,

ſhe is my joy, and heart's delight.
