ny, bonny sports pass o'er the Day, And leave poor _Jenny_ tol complain: My _Sawndy's_ grown a faithless Loon, And given, given _Moggy_ that wild Heart; Which eance he swore was aw my own, But now weese me I've scarce a part. Gang thy gate then perjur'd _Sawndy_, Ise nea mere will Mon believe; Wou'd Ise nere had trusted any, They faw Thieves will aw deceive: But gin ere Ise get mere Lovers, Ise Dissemble as they do; For since Lads are grown like Rovers, Pray why may na Lasses too. _The_ Restauration: _Or the_ Coventry SONG. 1710.
