[ 8 ] JENNY's Impatiance for JOCKEY'S RETURN.

MY laddie is gane far away the plain, While in ſorrow behind i'r forc'd to remain, The blue bells and violets hedges adorn, The tries are in Bloſſom, & ſweet blows the thorn: No pleaſure they give me, in vain they look gay, There's naeching can pleaſe me, now Jockey's away; Forlorn I ſit ſinging--and this is my rain, Haſte, haſte my dear Jockey, haſte, haſte my dear Jockey,

Haſte, haſte my dear Jockey to me back again.

When lads & their laſſes are on the green met, They dance, they ſing, they laugh, and they chat, Contented and happy, with hearts fell of glee, I can's without envy, their merriment ſee. Theſe paſtimes offer me, my ſhepherd's not there, No pleaſure I reliſh, that Jockey don't ſhare; He makes me to ſigh, I from tears ſource refrain, I wiſh my dear Jockey, I wiſh my dear Jockey, with my dear Jockey's return back again.

But hope ſhall ſuſtain me, nor will I deſpair, He promis'd he would in a fortnight be hers; On fond expecation my wishes I'll feaſt, For love my dear Jockey to Jenny will haſte. Then farewel each cure, and adieu each vain ſigh, Who'll then be ſo bleſs'd or ſo happy as I, I'll ſing o'er the meadows, and alter my ſtrain, When Jockey returns, when Jocky returns When Jockey returns to my arms back again.
