Summary

The beggar girl (1813)

With rapture calls. Oh! come away;
Come, while the muse this-wreath shall twine
Around that modest brow of thine;
O hither haste, and with thee bring
That beauty, blooming like the spring;
Those graces that divinely shine,
And charm this ravish'd heart of mine.

The beggar girl (1813)

Hap me with thy Petticoat.
O Bell thy looks have kill'd my heart,
I pass the day in pain;
When night returns, I feel the smart,
and wish for thee in vain.
I’m starving cold, whilst thou art warm;
have pity and incline,
And grant me for a hap that charming petticoat ot thine.

The beggar girl (1813)

Flora the spangling beams adorning,
early by the break of day.
I went to pluck my love sweet posies.
the whitest blossom from the field,
Down by the banks of pinks end roses,
there sat Clymenia most mild.
