W: 2 Let Fops with fickle falshood range,
W: \t The paths of wanton Love;
W: Whilst weeping Maids lament their change,
W: \t And sadden ev'ry Grove;
W: But endless blessings crown the day,
W: \t I saw fair Esham's dale;
W: And every blessing find its way,
W: \t To Nancy of the Vale.
W:
W: 3 Struck with her charms and geatle truth,
W: \t I clasp'd the constant Fair;
W: To her alone I gave my Youth,
W: \t And vow my future Care;
W: And when this vow shall faithless prove,
W: \t Or I those charms forego;
W: The stream that saw our tender Love,
W: \t That stream shall cease to flow.
