'I 2 !:

And milkmaids half divine:
They may talk of the pleasure of sleep
ing
In the shade of q spreading tree.
And walk in the fields at morning
BY the side of 4 footstep free!
But give me sly Irritation
BY the light of chandelier
With music to play in the pauses, =
Ard nobody very near:
Or seat on silken sofa.
With glass of pure old wine.
And mamma too blind to discover
The small white hand in mine.
Your love in a cottage is hungry,
Your vine is a nest for flies
Your milkmaid shocks the Graces,
And simplicity talks of pies!
You lie down to your. shady slumber
And wake with a bug in your ear,
And your damsel that walks in the
morning
Is Shod like modntaineer.
True love is at home on carpet.
And nightly likes his ease
And true love has an eye for dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees.
His wing is the fan of lady,
His foot is an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipp'd with jewel,
And shot from a silver string.
