Orpheus Caledonius,

O U Eeaus and Belles fo fine and fair, Here learn to love, and be fincerc ; True Pafllon Nature dill imparts,

Nor values Bodies without Hearts ;

YoLi faifly vow, and whine, and figh,

And make no Confcience of a Lye i

Oh ! How can Beaus fair Belles deceive ?

Or why will Belles fine Beaus believe ?

Love's bright elt Flames warm ScottiJhh^<Xs, Tho' coolly clad in High-land Plads; Theyfcorn Brocade, who like theLafs, Nor need a Carpet, if there's Grafs i With Pipe and Glee each Hill refounds, And Love that gives, can heal their Wounds. The bonny Lafs ofVczii^s Mill Shews Wit's a Fool, when Nature will 5 Who pities not the Swain s Defpair, .That hears, The Bujh a boon Traquair : Or him that loves, yet cannot fay. If BeJJy Bell, or Marji Gray ^

Thus

Thus merrily they court the Fair, And love andfmg in Northern Air: Thus the gay Warblers of the Spring From Spray to Spray do hop and fing 5 Kind Nature fills their little Throats, With fweet and unaffcded Notes ; Their flatt 'ring Wings to Love fhe prunes, Their Voices wild to Love fhe tunes 5 And all the Cares they ever prove. Is Life, half Harmony, half Love,

And theck'd it o'er wi' rafhes. Fair BeJJy Bell I loo'd yeftreen,

And thought I ne'er cou'd alter 5 But Mary Gray's twa pawky Een, They gar my Fancy falter.

Now BeJJy's Hair's like a Lint-tap ;

She fmiles like a May Morning, When Thosbus ftarts frae Thetis' Lap,

The Hills with Rays adorning : White is her Neck, faft is her Hand^

Her Wafte and Feet's fu' genty 5 With ilka Grace {he can command 1

Her Lips, O wow ! they're dainty.

And Mary's Locks are like the CraWy

Her Een like Diamonds glances j She's ay fae clean, redd up and braw.

She kills whene'er fhe dances : B 2

III. ^he Bujh aboon Traquair.

HEar me, ye Nymphs, and every Swain^, I'll tell how "Teggy grieves me, Tho' thus I languifh, thus complain,

Alas ! fhe ne'er believes me. My Vows and Sighs, like filent Air,

Unheeded never move herj At the bonny Bufh aboon Traquair^ Twas there I firtt did love her.

That Day fhe fmil'd, and made me glad.

No Maid feem'd ever kinder -, I thought my felf the luckieft Lad,

So fweetly there to find her. I try'd to footh my am'rous Flame,

In Words that I thought tender 5 If more there pafs'd, Tm not to blamCj

I meant not to oflFend her.

Yet now fiie fcornful flies the Plain^ The Fields we then frequented 5

If e'er we meet, fhe fhews difdain^ She looks as ne'er acquainted.

The

6 Orpheus Caledonius.

The bonny Bufh bloom'd fair in May,

Its Sweets ril ay remember 5 But now her Frowns make it decay.

It fades as in T>ecember.

Ye rural Powers, who hear my Strains,

Why thus fhould Teggy grieve me \ Oh I make her Partner in my Pains,

Then let her Smiles relieve me. If not, my Love will turn Defpair,

My Pallion no more tender, rU leave the Bufh aboon Traquair^

To lonely Wilds I'll wander.

AS e.arly I walk'd, on the firft of fwect M?/, Befide a clear Fountain,

Beneath a fteep Mountain, I heard a fwect Flute foft Melody play, Whilft Echo refounded the dolorous Lay. I lift'ned and look'd, and Tpy'd a young Swain^

With Afpea diftrefTed,

And Spirits opprefled, Seem'd clearing afreili, as the Sky after Rain, And thushedifcover'd iiow he drove with his PaiK

Tho' C/^m be coy, why fhou'd I repine.

That a Nymph much above mcj

Vouchfafes not to love me, In her Rank of Merit I never can fhinc , Then why fhouldl feek to debafe her to mine: No, henceforth Efteeni fhall bridle Defire,

And in due Subjedion,

Retain warm Afredion j No Spark of Self-love (hail blaze in my Fire, Then where is the Swam can more humbly admire.

When Paffion fhall ceafe to rage in my Bread, Then quiet returnirig. Shall hulh z\\ my Mourning : And

And Lord of myfelf, in abfolute reft,

Thus Friendfhip unmixt, and wholly refin'd.

May yet be refpeded,

Tho'Love is rejeded : And Cloris muft own, tho' (he ftill proves unkind^ That there is no fuch Friend as a Lover refign'd.

May the fortunate Swain, who hereafter (hall fue.

With happy Endeavour^

To gain her dear Favour, Know as well as I, what to Cloris is due, Be ftill more deferving and never lefs true. Whilft I difingag'd from Wifhes and fears,

Tranquillity tafting.

On Liberty feafting, In hopes of fureBIifs fhall pafs my few Years, And long to efcape from this Valley of Tears.

Ye Powers that prefide over virtuous Love,

Now aid me with Patience,

To bear my Vexations, With noble Defigns my winged Heart move. With Sentiments pureft my Notions improve. Ife*er my young Heart be caught in Love's Chain^

May Prudence dired: me,

And Courage proted me, Prepai'd for alt Fates, rememb'ring the Swain, That grew happily wile, after loving in vain.

Orpheus Caledonius. 31

The Gifts of Nature and Fortune,

May fly, by chance as they came ; They're Grounds the Deftinies fport on.

But Vertue is ever the fame.

Altho' my Fancy were roving,

Thy Charms fo heavenly appear. That other Beauties difproving,

I'd worfhip thine only, my Dear. And fhou'd Life's Sorrows embitterj

The Pleafure we promis'd our Loves, To fhare them together is fitter.

Than moan afunder, like Doves.

Oh ! were I but once fo bleffed.

To grafp my Love in my Arms ! By thee to be grafped ! and kiifed !

And live on thy Heaven of Charms ! I'd laugh at Fortune's Caprices,

Shou'd Fortune capricious prove ; Tho' Death fhou'd tear me to pieces,

I'd die a Martyr to Love.

32 Orpheus CALErxoNius;

XVI. TWEED-SIDE.

°Hat Beauties does Flora difclofe \

How fweet are her Smiles upon Tweed ? Y^t Mary* s iSiW fweeter than thofe j

Both Nature and Fancy exceed. Nor Daify, nor fweet blufhii^ Rofe,

Nor all the gay Flowers of the Field, Not Tweed ^\\diin2, gently thro' thofe, Such Beauty and Pleafure does yield.

The Warblers are heard in the Grove,

The Linnet, the Lark, and the Thrufh, The Black-bird, and fweet cooing Dove,

With Mufick enchant ev'ry Buih. Come, let us go forth to the Mead,

Let us fee how the Frimrofes fpring, Well lodge in fome Village on Tweedy

And love while the feather'd Folks fm^.

o'

How does my Love pafs the long Day ?

Does Mary not 'tend a few Sheep ? Do they never carelellly ftray,

While happily fhe lies alleep.

In milking to abide thee } I'd think myfelfa happier Man,

Then I'd defpife th* Imperial Throne,

And Statefmens dangerous Stations : I'd be no King, I'd wear no Crown,

I'd fmile at conquering Nations : Might I carefs and ftill poffefs

Compar'd with Katherine Ogie.

But I fear the Gods have not decreed For me lo fine a Creature,

Reveals how much 1 love her. The tender Glance, the red'ning Cheek,

TH E pawky auld Carle came o'er the Lee, Wi' many good E'ens and Days to me. Saying, Good-wife, for your Courtifie,

Will ye lodge a flily poor Man ? The Night was cauld, the Carle was wat. And down ayont the Ingle he fati My Daughter's Shoulders he 'gan to clap. And cadgily ranted and fang.

O wow ! quo' he, were I as free, As firft when I faw this Country, How blyth and merry wad I be !

And I wad never think lang. He grew canty, and fhe grew fain; But little did her auld Minny ken What thir flee twa togither were fay'n,

When wooing they were fae thrang.

And

Orpheus Caledonius.

And O ! quo' he, ann ye were as black. As e'er the Grown of my Dady's Hat, 'Tis I wad lay thee by my Back,

And awa' wi' me thou fhou'd gang. And O ! quo' fhe, ann I were as white. As e'er the Snaw lay on the Dike, I'd dead me braw, and lady-like,

And awa* with thee I'd gang.

Between the twa was made a Plot ; They raife a wee before the Cock, And wylily they fhot the Lock,

And fail to the Bent are they gane. Up in the Morn the auld Wife raife, And at her Lcifure pat on her Chifej Syne to the Servant's Bed fhe ga?s,

To fpeer for the filly poor Man.

She gaed to the Bed where the Beggar lay^ The Strae was cauld, he was away, She clapt her hands, cry'd, Waladay,

For fome of our Gear will be gane. Some ran to Coffers, and fome to Kifts, But nought was down that cou'd be mifl'. She danc'd her lane, cry'd, Praife be bleft,

I have lodg'd a leal poor Man.

Since

OUPHEUS CaJLEDONIU^. 97

Since iiatliing*s awa', as we can learn, The Kirns to Kirn, and Milk to Earn, Gae butt the Houfe, Lafs, and waken my Bairn,

And bid her come quickly ben. The Servant gade where the Daughter lay, The Sheets was cauld, fhe was away. And fall to her good Wife can fay,

She's aif with the Gaberlunzie-Man.

O fy gar ride, and fy gar rin,

And hafte ye find thefe Traitors again ;

For file's be burnt, and he's be flain.

The wearifu Gaberlunzie-Man. Some rade upo* Horfe, fome ran a fir^ The Wife was wood, and out o' her Wit : She cou d na' gang, nor yet cou'd fhe fir,

But ay file curs'd and fhe ban'd.

Mean time far hind out o'er the Lee,

Fu fnug in a Glen, where nane cou'd fee,

The twa, with kindly Sport and Glee,

Cut frae a new Cheefc a whang : The Priving was good, it pleas'd them baith^ To lo'e her for ay, he ga'e her his aith 5 Quo' fhe, to leave thee I will be laith,

My winfomc Gaberlunzie-Man.

98 Orpheus Caledonius.

O ken'd my Minny I were wi' you, ril fardly wad fhe crook her mou, Sic a poor Man fhe'd never trow,

After the Gaberlunzie-Man. My Dear, quo' he, ye're yet o'er young. And ha' na' learn'd the Beggars Tongue, To follow me frae Town to Town,

And carry the Gaberlunzie on.

Wi' cauk and keel I'll win your Bread,

And Spindles and Whorles for them wha' need,

Whilk is a gentle Trade indeed.

To carry the Gaberlunzie-O. I'll bow my Leg, and crook my Knee, And draw a black Clout o'er my Eye, A Cripple or Blind they will ca' me,

While we fhall be merry, and fing.

Rich baith in Lands and Money : The Tutors watch'd the Motion,

Of this young honeft Lover ; But Love is like the Ocean ; Wha can its Depth difcovcr !

He had the Art to pleafe ye,

And was by a* refpeded 5 His Airs fat round him eafy,

Genteel, but unafFeded. The Collier's bonny Laffie,

The Charms that were about her ; And panted for Pofleflion,

His Life was dull without her. After mature Refolving,

Clofe to his Bread he held her; In fafteft Flames diflblving,

He tenderly thus tell'd her.

My bonny Collier's Daughter,

Let nathing difcompofe ye, 'Tis no your fcanty Tocher

Shall ever gar me lofe ye : For I have Gear in plenty,

And Love fays, 'tis my Duty To ware what Heaven has lent me.

Upon your Wit and Beauty.

Orpheus Caledonius. 107

XLVIII. l!he Lafs of Livingfton.

PAin'd with her flighting Jamie^s Love, Bell dropt a Tear,- Bell dropt a Tear ;

The Gods defcended from above.

Well pleas'd to hear, well pleas*d to hear :

They heard the Prai fes of the Youth

From her own Tongue — from her own Tongue i Who now converted was to Truth,

And thus (he fung, and thus fhe Tung.

Bleft Days ! when our ingenious Sex,

More frank and kind, more frank and kind.

Did not their lov'd Adorers vex.

But fpoke their mind, — but fpoke their mind. Repenting now, fhe promisM fair,

Wou'd he return, wou'd he return.

She ne'er again wou'd give him Care,

Or caufe him mourn, or caufe him mourn.

P 2 Why

io8 Orpheus Caledonius.

Why lov'd I thee, deferving Swain,

Yet ftill thought fhame,^yet ftill thought (hame, .When he my yielding Heart did gain,

To own my Flame,— to own my Flame ? Why took I pleafure to torment,

And feem too coy, — and feem too coy ? Which makes me now alas lament

My flighted Joy, — my flighted Joy.

Ye Fair, while Beauty's in its Spring,

Own your Defire, — -own your Defire i While Love's young Power with his foft Wnr^

Fans up the Fire,— fans up the FirCo O do notj with a filly Pride,

Or low Dcfign,— or low Defign, Refufe to be a happy Bride,

But anfwer plain,-— but anfwer plain.

Thus the fair Mourner waii'd her Crime,

With flowing Eyes,— with flowing Eyes ; Glad Jamie heard her all the time,

With fweet Surprize,— with fweet Surprize. Some God had led him to the Grove,

His Mind unchang'd, — his Mind unchang'd 5 Hew to her Arms, and cry'd. My Love,

1 am reveng'd,— I am reveng'do

XLIX. William and Margaret.

,/ I ^WAS at the filcnt Midnight-Hour, X When all were faft afleep ;

In glided Margaret* s grimly Ghoft, And flood at Wtlliam\ Feet.

Her Face was like an April Morn,

Clad in a wintry Cloud : And clay-cold was her lilly Hand,

That held her fable Shroud.

So (hall the faireft Face appear,

When Youth and Years are flown :

Such is the Robe that Kings muft wear. When Death has reft their Crown. .

Her Bloom was like the fpringing Flower,

That flps the fllver Dew : The Rofe was budded in her Cheek?

Juft opening to the View.

But

no Orpheus Caledonius.

But Love had, like the Canker-Worm,

Confum'd her early Prime : The Bsofc grew pale, and left her Cheek,

She dy'd before her Time.

Awake! fhe cry*d, thy true Love calls. Come from her midnight Grave :

Now kt thy Pity hear the Maid, Thy Love rcfus'd to fave.

This is the dumb and dreary Hour, When injur'd Ghofts complain;

When yawning Graves give up their Dead, To haunt the faithlefs Man.

Bethink thee, WiUiamy of thy Fault, Thy Pledge, and broken Oath :

And give me back my maiden Vow, And give me back my Troth.

Why did you promife Love to me.

And not that Promife keep ? Why did you fwear my Eyes were bright.

Yet leave thofe Eyes to weep ?

How could you fay my Face was fair.

And yet that Face forfake ? How could you win my virgin Heart,

Yet leave that Heart to break ? 3

Whi

Orpheus Caledonius. hi

Why did you fay my Lip was fweet,

And made the Scarlet pale? And why did I, young, witlefs Maid,

Believe the flattering Tale ?

That Face, alas ! no more is fair,

Thofe Lips no longer red : Dark are my Eyes, now clos'd in Death,

And every Charm is fled.

The hungry Worm my Sifter is ;

This Winding-Sheet I wear : And cold and weary lafts our Night,

'Till that laft Morn appear.

But hark! the Cock has warn'd me hence:

A long and laft Adieu ! Come, fee, falfc Man, how low ftie lies.

Who dy'd for love of you.

The Lark fung loud, the Morning fmil'd,

And rais'd her glittering Head : Pale William quak'd in every Limb,

And raving left his Bed,

He hy'd him to the fatal Place

Where Margaret* s, Body lay.

And ftretch'd him on the grafs-green Turf,

That wrapt her breathlefs Clay.

And

112 Orpheus Caledonius.

And thrice he call'd on Margaret's Name, And thrice he wept full fore.

Then laid his Cheek to her cold Grave, And Word fpoke never more.

Down the Burn Davie.

WHEN Trees did bud, and Fields were green, And Broom bloom'd fair to fee 5 When Mary was compleat Fifteenj

And Love laugh'd in her Eye 5 Blyth 'Davie % Blinks her Heart did move^

To Ipcak her Mind thus free, Gang down the Burn^ Davie, Love^ And 1 ^ all follow thee.

Now Davie did each Lad furpafs.

That dwelt on this Burn-fide, And Mary was the bonnieft Lais,

Jud meet to be a Bride 5 Her Cheeks were rofy, red and v/hite.

Her Een were bonny blue ; Her Looks were like Aur§ra bright.

Her Lips like dropping Dew.

As down the Burn they took their wayj^

What tender Tales they faid ! His Cheek to hers he aft did lay.

And with her Bofom piay'd ,

Vol. I. Q Till

114 Orpheus Caledonius.

Till baith at length impatient grown.

To be mair fully bleft, In yonder Vale they lean'd them down 5

Love only faw the reft.*

What pafs*d, I guefs, was harmlcfs Play,

And naithing fure unmeet 5 For ganging hame, I heard him fay.

They lik'd a wa'k fae fweet ; And that they aften fliou'd return.

Sic Pleafure to renew. (Juoth Mary^ Love, I like the Burn,

And ay fhall follow you.
