146 poetry. Jan. 25. 



But when with milJnefs he the bridle takes, 

 He gently follows and the trick forsakes. 



THE MAID OF CLYDE. 



7o tbt tune of the maid that tends the goats. 

 For the Bee. 



Upon the chrystal streams of Clyde, 

 Where lilies fair and violets grow. 



Where roses raise their crimson head. 

 Outvying all that near them blow. 



There lives a nymph, so loirely fair, 



For beauty none can e'er come near her. 



Her charming form and youthful air, 

 Surpafseth all that try to peer her. 



No diamond with her eyes can fhow. 

 So radiant bright, and sofdy charmingj 



The rose looks pale tho' in full blow. 

 Her lovely lips its strength disarming. 



But ah ' how cruel and unkind, 



No sighs or tears can ever move her. 



Oh Cupid case my anxious mind, 



And make her love, or me lefs love her.
