from 'The Gentle Shepherd', Act 2 Scene 4

lyrics

Patie (sings).
By the delicious Warmness of thy Mouth,
And rowing Eye that smiling tells the Truth,
I guess, my Lassie, that as well as I,
Your made for Love, and why should ye deny?

Peggy (sings.)
But ken ye, Lad, gif we confess o’er soon,
Ye think us cheap, and syne the Woing’s done?
The Maiden that o’er quickly tynes her Power,
Like unripe Fruit will taste but hard and sowr.

Patie (sings.)
But gin they hing o’er lang upon the Tree,
Their Sweetness they may tine, and sae may ye.
Red cheeked you completely ripe appear,
And I have thol’d and woo’d a lang Half-year.

Peggy (singing falls into Patie’s Arms.)
Then dinna pou me, gently thus I fa’
Into my Patie’s Arms for good and a’:
But stint your Wishes to this kind Embrace,
And mint nae farther till we’ve got the Grace.

Patie (with his left Hand about her Waist.)
O Charming Armfu’! hence, ye Cares, away:
I’ll kiss my Treasure a’ the live lang Day;
All Night I’ll dream my Kisses o’er again,
Till that Day come that ye’ll be a’ my ain.

Sung by both.
Sun, gallop down the Westlin Skyes,
Gang soon to Bed, and quickly rise;
O! Lash your Steeds, post Time away,
And haste about our Bridal Day:
And if ye’er wearied, honest Light,
Sleep gin ye like a Week that Night.
